Match Preview
Rotherham United host Burton Albion at the AESSEAL New York Stadium in a League One clash that promises an intriguing battle. Rotherham's recent form has seen them bounce back with two consecutive wins after a shaky start, while Burton are struggling, having secured just one point from their last five outings. Historically, Rotherham have dominated this fixture, winning seven of the last ten encounters, which adds to their confidence heading into this match. One key angle to consider is the likelihood of goals, as both teams have shown a propensity for high-scoring games in their recent matches. Rotherham's last five games have seen them score and concede, while Burton's defensive frailties could be exploited by the Millers' attacking prowess. With odds of 2.0 for over 2.5 goals and 1.8 for both teams to score, there’s a strong case for a high-scoring affair. Expect Rotherham to leverage their home advantage against a struggling Burton side, potentially leading to a decisive victory.
