Sunderland vs Rotherham Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the English Championship on Saturday, 19 August 2023.
Sunderland are set to host Rotherham at the Stadium of Light for their upcoming league fixture. Sunderland enter the contest following a number of subpar performances. They sit 21st in the table after a 2-1 defeat to Preston in their previous league match.
Their opponents, Rotherham, come into the game with a string of mixed results. They remain 20th in the standings following a 2-2 draw with Blackburn Rovers last time out.
The last time these two clubs met was in February. Rotherham managed to deliver a 2-1 win that day.
In the last ten meetings between the two teams. Sunderland has won five times, there have been three draws, and Rotherham has won twice.
We are counting on Sunderland to pull off a win here. They have a stronger home record than their opponent’s away record. They have also produced several opportunities in both of their league encounters so far.
Rotherham, on the other hand, have struggled on the road for some time now, with their lone away league encounter thus far ending in a loss as well as four goals conceded.
We expect goals in this match. In two of Sunderland’s last three matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, two of Rotherham’s past three matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, the last two h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record in recent weeks. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in each of their past three matches. While the visitors also failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last three matches this season.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
The bookies have Sunderland as the favourite, and backing them at 1.65 is a profitable wager considering their strong record against this opposition and their fine home record in the league leading up to the contest. Furthermore, Rotherham has had a poor away record going into the match.
A victory for Sunderland at 1.65 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.80 look to be very attractive. Given both clubs’ poor defensive performances and recent goal participation at both ends of the game.
