Norwich City - Rotherham United predictions

Norwich City are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.28, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

Rotherham United stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 12.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

The home side comes off from a disappointing Middlesbrough and will be looking to bounce back when they meet Rotherham on Saturday. The last match was a big blow to their confidence and it remains to be seen if they are strong enough to return to winning ways.

The Millers were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Coventry City in the previous round. Quite predictably, they fell behind in the first half – and the second half didn’t go much better either, ending in a harsh 5:0 defeat.

Norwich can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 6 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

Given 8 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Rotherham United's defensive line is much to be desired.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Championship clash tells a different story. The Canaries lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.83 at Pncl.
