Rotherham vs Birmingham Prediction
In the previous three games, Rotherham drew 0-0 with Preston, lost 1-1 against Queens P.R. and 0-1 against Morecambe. Rotherham just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Championship matches at the New York Stadium. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored seven and conceded six goals.
Few people had high hopes on behalf of Rotherham before the season, but current form sees them punching above expectations.
Birmingham were only able to take one point from their past three games. They came up short in a 1-0 defeat against Cardiff before drawing 1-1 with Watford. They were defeated once again, when Wigan ran out 0-1 winners. Birmingham are winless in their last six away games in the Championship, in which they drew three and lost three. They conceded ten goals while scoring two themselves.
Staying clear of finishing inside the relegation zone is probably the best Birmingham can aim for this season. Each and every point counts from the word go.
Rotherham find it tough these days to get a goal in, but Birmingham are equally lacklustre in front of goal currently, and going with under 2.5 goals in the betting market is the obvious choice.
