Two teams at opposite ends of the table meet on Wednesday night as sixth-place Bournemouth take on 21st-place Rotherham United
Cherries enter the game after a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest on Saturday Bournemouth is currently in the last play-off place and is five points behind Reading who beat Bristol City on Tuesday night Since Jason Tindall’s sacking, Bournemouth has been undefeated under the leadership of interim boss Jonathan Woodgate
The Millers recently improved their form with three wins in their last five games, but came into the game after a 2-1 home loss to Cardiff City due to the winner Joe Bennett in the 85th minute Rotherham is currently two points behind Coventry City with two games in hand The Millers have won their last three away games so will be confident they can get a result at Vitality Stadium
Lloyd Kelly will likely replace Steve Cook at center-back after Bournemouth captain injured his groin at the weekend David Brooks, Lewis Cook and Phillip Billing could all be in line for a Dominic Solanke recall, Jack Stacey and Ben Pearson are all unavailable due to injury and Chris Mepham is in doubt for the game
Jamie Lindsay suffered a hamstring injury for Rotherham and is therefore unavailable Jamal Blackman, Chiedozie Ogbene and Joe Mattock are also unavailable for the Millers
The Dutch left-winger has six goals and two assists in the league this season and was a key player in Bournemouth’s first season in the second division Les Cherises signed Groeneveld from Belgian club Club Brugge for £ 16.2million in August 2019 and could be crucial for their promotion this season
The 29-year-old forward is the focal point of Rotherham’s attacking play with his aerial prowess and eye for goal He has scored seven goals and two assists for The Millers this season and could be the difference between safety and relegation this season
The two teams played a 2-2 draw when they met in November as two goals from Freddie Ladapo wiped out goals from Dominic Solanke and Junior Stanislas
