We said: Rotherham United 1-1 Blackburn Rovers

 Rotherham United failed to impress on the opening day, while the visitors scored an encouraging victory, but we do fancy the Millers to be more resilient on home turf and do not see Blackburn leaving with all three points, instead envisaging a low-scoring draw in South Yorkshire. Read more.
