Rotherham United - Sunderland predictions

The most probable outcome of this match is Rotherham United getting completely overwhelmed. They are underdogs by a considerable margin, and it’s not likely even the most optimistic of their fans are expecting them to pull off a victory.

The odds are clearly leaning in the away team’s favour, though the difference is by no means insurmountable. The Millers will have to give their all to come out on top, though, while Sunderland merely have to make sure not to make major mistakes.

Rotherham United had their supporters in tears of joy last time out in the Championship. Playing at home saw them host a tough opponent while Rotherham United were given 6.00 to pull a surprise. And after a tied first half, that’s exactly what they did thanks to a second-half goal that made all the difference (Middlesbrough).

Sunderland are here after a tame but effective performance in their previous away game against Hull City. Championship betting odds implied that the clash could have gone either way, and the teams remained in a deadlock for more than half the runtime. A deciding goal in the second half led the away team to a narrow 0:1 victory, though.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Millers have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

This match may offer a solid opportunity for an Under 5 Goals bet purely because Sunderland are playing as the visiting team. The last two such instances both ended up confirming the market – they even featured fewer than 5 goals, in fact.

The two squads already met this season in the Championship. As expected, Sunderland took the win, though the match was a bit close. Either way, Rotherham have no history of beating the odds in this particular matchup.

Due to the absence of injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their complete lineups available for an exciting match.

Your best bet in this scenario is to go for a high-risk, high-reward bet. Namely, we suggest a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market. It’s definitely not a safe bet, but the 1 odds make up for it in sheer betting value.
