Rotherham United - Sheffield Wednesday predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Rotherham United on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Sheffield Wednesday should be able to win this one, but such an outcome won’t come easily. The 2.30 betting odds on them winning indicate that it will be a close match - Rotherham United are no pushovers.

Although Rotherham United lost their previous away game at Queens Park Rangers , things didn’t go as badly as they could have. They were severely outmatched and playing as visitors, yet somehow managed to secure a lead before half-time. The 2:1 result was a narrow loss for them, though they walked away with their pride intact.

The Owls had a challenging matchup in the previous round. Top online bookies priced their victory at 2.98, which is not great if you consider the fact that they were the home team in that bout. Thankfully, they grabbed an early lead and turned it into an HT/FT victory, much to the joy of their home supporters.

Rotherham United’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three Championship matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Sheffield Wednesday can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

The first time they matched with Rotherham United, Sheffield Wednesday ended the match with a lead of more than two goals. They’re playing as the away team this time, but most bookies are pricing their victory at 2.30, which makes them the favourites.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

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 2.25 at Pncl.
