Rotherham vs Preston: Top free betting tips

Standing on the verge of the relegation zone, Rotherham United are set to go up against Preston North End in the EFL Championship on Saturday, 23 September. The Lilywhites will be committed to adding strength to their top position in Round 8 of the Championship at New York Stadium.

Match result prediction: Preston to win

Rotherham United have emerged victorious three times in the last five meetings with Preston North End. However, the Millers have been dismal recently by losing four of the previous five league outings. On the other hand, Preston has been incredible with six consecutive victories in the EFL Championship before this game. The Lilywhite have also gone undefeated in all three road fixtures this season, winning two of them. Given all these facts, we set Preston North End as our favourites to take the lead in this game.

Both teams to score prediction: YesGoals

Getting through a brilliant winning streak, Preston will be optimistic to create scoring chances in this game. However, the Lilywhites have claimed just one clean sheet in the last four games in the Championship. On the other hand, Rotherham United have also rattled the net in the previous four games at New York Stadium consecutively. Additionally, four of the last five H2Hs of these two sides have finished with both teams on the scoring side. Therefore, a BTTS outcome will be our second pick for this game.

Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Preston

Rotherham United have scored more than once in only one of the previous five fixtures in the EFL Championship and EFL Cup. Nevertheless, Preston has scored two goals in each of their last four games. The Lilywhites have also conceded just one goal in three games during the same course. Additionally, the Millers have allowed multiple goals at the back in four of the last five matches in the EFL Championship. Based on these statistics, we predict a 1-2 margin for Preston in this encounter.
