Rotherham vs Sunderland: Top Free Betting Tips

Sunderland will be eager to get back to winning ways when they travel to Rotherham United for the next EFL Championship fixture on Tuesday, 21 February. The Millers have struggled in recent games with consecutive defeats while the Black Cats dropped the points with a draw against Bristol City.

Match Result Prediction: Sunderland to Win

Rotherham United are winless in the last five games, having three draws and two defeats. The Millers have also won only one of the previous seven home games, losing four of them. However, Sunderland has registered three victories in the last five league attempts, ending the remaining two in draws. The Black Cats have also won three of the four H2H meetings at the home of Rotherham United. Following a poor form of the Millers, we predict the Black Cats to come up front at the end of this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

The Millers have struggled offensively in the recent home games against Coventry and Sheffield but had a scoring string before that. Rotherham has also scored in four of the recent five meetings against Sunderland, helping four BTTS patterns. The Black Cats have also allowed goals in four of the recent five away outings. Offensively, the Black Cats have not missed the target in any of the attempts since the start of the new year. Therefore, a BTTS outcome will be our next pick for this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-3 to Sunderland

Sunderland has allowed only one goal per game in four of the recent five attempts away from home. The Millers have not hit the target more than once in any of the previous four meetings in the league. Nevertheless, have added a total of nine goals in the last five away outings in the Championship, scoring more than once in two of them. Rotherham United also leaked two goals in each of the last two attempts. Hence, we see the Black Cats strong enough to take a 1-3 at the end of ninety minutes in this duel.

Rotherham vs Sunderland: Form, Recent Games, and News

Rotherham United Preview

The Millers ended their undefeated pattern of home meetings in the last game with a 0-2 defeat against  Coventry City. A long winless run has sent the team to the twenty-first position on the table, having seven wins and 12 draws in 32 games. The manager Matt Taylor will have a fully healthy squad to make a selection for this game.

Despite their poor run of form, Rotherham will be confident in their approach to this game. The last time these sides met at the Aesseal New York Stadium saw them thrash the Black Cats 5-1. Their current form at home can surely take some notes from it as they have only one once in their last seven fixtures.

Sunderland Preview

The Black Cats conceded a goal in the last seconds of the stoppage time against Bristol City to feature a 1-1 home draw. Sunderland occupies the fifth position in the standings with a total of 13 wins and ten draws in the 32 league attempts. Ross Stewart and two other players will be out of this game due to fitness issues.

Their last trip to the Aesseal New York Stadium was one to forget but Sunderland will look at their positive recent form. They have only lost once in their last seven fixtures and their away form has much to give way to hope. Sunderland are unbeaten in ten away fixtures and has only lost once in their four duels with Rotherham on the road.
