Rotherham United - Birmingham City predictions

Upsets do happen in football and it’s fair to say a home win here would be a definition of the case. Rotherham United can count themselves lucky if they avoid getting completely destroyed by Birmingham City in this match.

We are likely going to see Birmingham City triumph this Saturday, though The Millers do have a fighting chance. Maybe the home field advantage will be enough to spur them into a surprise draw or victory, though it’s not a probable outcome.

Rotherham United supporters did not exactly have high hopes heading into the Championship last round’s match. Their team was made a huge underdog but still managed to hold on for a draw in the first half, thus raising the expectations from their fans. In the end, a narrow Swansea City defeat on a tough trip is nothing to be too disappointed about.

Birmingham displayed admirable form the last time we saw them in a Championship match. They were ahead at half-time and won the game decisively (3:0), even though their opponents Coventry City were tagged as hard favourites before kick-off.

Rotherham have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

Birmingham City haven’t really been top of their game in their previous away outings – all 3 of them ended in defeat.

The season’s match history shows us these two teams tied in an earlier round. Birmingham may be the favourites, but they were unable to get the upper hand despite being the hosts last time.

We can look forward to an exciting game as both teams have their full lineups available, thanks to no suspensions or injuries.

An Away Win is the strongest wager you can make on this match, especially at the odds of 1.61 at 1xbet. It’s a nice balance between betting value and a decent probability of success.
