Blackburn Rovers - Rotherham United predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 01/01/2024 played @ Ewood Park refereed by Jarred Gillett

It’s quite easy to predict that Blackburn Rovers will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Blackburn and the fact that Rotherham United are given 6.50 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

For the first 45 minutes, it looked as if The Rovers could return from a tough trip with at least a point in the bag. However, the situation changed after the break when Blackburn Rovers suffered a blow and ended up losing the game by a single goal margin.

The away team’s performance in the previous round was well above what most tipsters and bookies expected of them. Although an HT/FT draw does not sound all that exciting, pre-match Championship betting odds painted them as the 1.53 underdogs.

With 8 concessions over the last 3 matches, Blackburn will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Rotherham’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 6 in their previous 3 away games.

The Millers and Blackburn Rovers tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Blackburn Rovers are still considered more likely to come out on top this Monday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

Monday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.61 odds offered at 888Sport.
