Watford vs Rotherham: Top Free Betting Tips

Watford aims to continue their progression in the Championship table when they take on Rotherham United on Saturday, 21 January. The Millers come into this game after finding their winning form against Blackburn Rovers in the league.

Match Result Prediction: Watford to Win

Watford enters the field after winning the last two league outings in a row. The Hornets have registered only two wins in the previous five attempts at home but they would be optimistic about the H2H results against the Millers. Watford has won four of the last five meetings with the upcoming rivals, losing zero. In opposition, Rotherham  United have lost all of the previous four away attempts. Hence, we back the Golden Boys to take three points at the end of this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

The front line of Watford has been unable to feature an acceptable form and scored only three goals in the previous five outings. On the contrary, Rotherham United have also found the back of the net only twice in the last five away outings. Three of the last five meetings between these teams have witnessed totals of below 2.5 goals. Following the present situation, we don’t see the sides featuring a high-scoring total in this game. 

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Watford

Watford scored at least twice in two of the last five home attempts and had the same pattern in four of the last five meetings with Rotherham United. The Hornets have also claimed three clean sheets in the previous four home duels. On the other hand, the Millers were unable to find the target in the recent three away attempts, while allowing eight goals in that duration. So Watford is expected to take a 2-0 lead before this final whistle blows.
