Rotherham United Sheffield Wednesday betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This should be a very balanced game from start to finish, as the two sets need to grab the three points in this round. However, even playing away from home, Sheffield Wednesday has all the conditions to score points, however, on the other side sits a team strong in the counterattack. Having said that and taking into account also the fragile defensive sectors, betting in favor of goals in this match is the best option.

Preview
Rotherham United and Sheffield Wednesday meet at AESSEAL New York Stadium, in a match for the 8th round of the Championship. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 28‑08‑2019, in a match for the League Cup, Sheffield Wednesday won by (0‑1). The only goal of the match was scored by A. Nuhiu (90' ). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Rotherham

The home team is currently in the 18th position of the league, with 6 points won, after 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Nottingham Forest, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Reading, by (3‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Rotherham United has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition.

Rotherham United comes unmotivated for this match after a 3-0 defeat in Reading, making it the sixth straight match without tasting Championship victory. The home team shows large gaps in its style of play, mainly, maintenance of the ball possession and finishing, very important aspects in this sport. In this match coach Paul Warne should play the team in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Michael Smith being the most offensive reference. The home team cannot count on Angus MacDonald, punished, as well as Chiedozie Ogbene, this one with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Jamal Blackman, Joe Mattock, Michael Ihiekwe, Wes Harding, Richard Wood, Daniel Barlaser, Jamie Lindsay, Ben Wiles, Freddie Ladapo, Florian Jozefzoon, Mikel Miller.
Coach: S. Evans.

Analysis Sheff Wed

The away team is currently in the 24th position of the league, with ‑4 points won, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Brentford, by (1‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Luton Town, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 1 win, 5 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 7 goals scored and 25 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Sheffield Wednesday has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. In 10 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sheffield Wednesday enters this match with a defeat, by 0-1, in the reception to Luton, making it the second consecutive defeat in this competition. Note that the visitors won 2 out of the 3 matches played away from home. The visiting club displays a very interesting style of play, with successive organized attacks, with ball possession being the team's greatest weapon. When it has to act in a more defensive way, Sheffield Wednesday has presented several difficulties: set plays and aerial game. At the individual level we highlight the striker Callum Paterson, player who scored 1 goal and made 1 assist. For this match, the visiting team cannot count on Chey Dunkley and Osaze Urhoghide, both injured, and still have doubts about Dominic Iorfa, Tom Lees and Izzy Brown.

Confirmed Lineup: Cameron Dawson, Callum Paterson, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Julian Börner, Moses Odubajo, Aden Flint, Tom Lees, Kadeem Harris, Joey Pelupessy, Barry Bannan, Jack Marriott.
Coach: D. Moore.
