Huddersfield vs Rotherham Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th September 2023

When Rotherham arrive at John Smith's Stadium this coming Saturday to face Huddersfield in the Championship, the latter will be hoping to use their home turf to their advantage.

Huddersfield are 21 in the rankings with four points after five matches played , whereas Rotherham rank 20 in the Championship on four points.

Rotherham can actually leapfrog Huddersfield in the table with a win this coming Saturday. However, judging by the prices we get from the bookmakers, this seems rather unlikely to happen.

They simultaneously allowed their opponents 13 goals, or an average of 1.3 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.

Huddersfield vs Rotherham Prediction

Huddersfield Form

Huddersfield hope for some consistency, as their last three matches added four points to their account. A meeting with Middlesbrough resulted in a 1-1 draw, followed by a 0-4 defeat against Norwich, before beating West Bromwich by 1-2. Huddersfield won three of their previous six matches at John Smith's Stadium in the Championship. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring nine goals to nine against.

Huddersfield’s priority for this season will be to stay clear of the relegation zone, while challenging for a spot in the upper half of the Championship.

Rotherham Form

In their last three matches, Rotherham lost against Leicester and Stoke by 1-2 and 6-1, respectively, and beat Norwich by 2-1. In their last six Championship away matches, Rotherham failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn three and lost three, scoring three while also conceding eight times.

A top half finish is the dream for Huddersfield, but neutral spectators have them down for a season in the lower end of the Championship.

It seems both Rotherham and Huddersfield have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Saturday, and we are rooting for goals.

Huddersfield claimed one win, one draw as well as three defeats in the Championship this season. Rotherham so far pulled off one win, one draw and three defeats in the Championship.
