Rotherham vs Watford Prediction

Rotherham are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Morecambe by a 0-1 score, before winning 2-0 against Birmingham. They were back on the losing side in a 3-0 defeat against Sunderland. In their last six Championship home matches, Rotherham have two wins, while they've drawn two and lost two. They scored nine and conceded five goals.

Few people had high hopes on behalf of Rotherham before the season, but current form sees them punching above expectations.

In their last three matches, Watford lost against Milton Keynes Dons and Queens P.R. by 0-2 and 2-3, respectively, and beat Middlesbrough by 2-1. Watford claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Championship. They also drew three and were defeated two times, as they were outscored by five goals to three.

Standards are high at a club like Watford and as such the season is so far going according to plan.

Not many goals occur in Rotherham's matches, and balancing on such a tightrope makes the draw look a tempting prospect, when Watford come calling.
