Rotherham vs Stoke Predictions

Our football betting tips for Saturday evening start with a even-looking contest at the New York Stadium. Rotherham are likely to pick up the majority of their points at home this season and they have already beaten Ipswich, Millwall and Derby in front of their own fans. Each of these successes have been a single goal and Paul Warne will have his side suitably well-organised for this game. His team have a tremendous work-ethic and what they lack in quality, they make up for in endeavour. They will this match as a chance to add some more points to the board. The Millers were fancied for relegation this season and they are occupying a bottom half position, just one place below today’s visitors. Gary Rowett’s time at Stoke has not been a successful one and they are struggling for form. Defending has been their downfall so far this campaign and they’ve found themselves 3-0 in each of their last two matches. The former Derby boss continues to search for a solution but his side are far too open, particularly on the road. They’ve conceded nine times on their travels so far this season and they will have to tighten up if they have any hopes of climbing the table. However, Stoke have looked dangerous at the other end and they could find a way past this dogged Rotherham back-line. They netted twice against Preston and Sheffield Wednesday and did also score against West Brom and Leeds and could make a game of this. Rotherham will be hard to beat and Stoke are dodgy at the back so the draw looks like the best way of approaching this match. Draw is priced at 13/5 with Betway and is the first of our Rotherham vs Stoke predictions for Saturday afternoon.

Rotherham vs Stoke Total Goal Odds

This is one of those strange games where we have a match-up between two sides who play with contrasting styles. Stoke’s games are usually full of goals on the road  but they’ve played sides with more firepower than today’s opposition. Rotherham keep things tight at the NY Stadium and barring their peculiar 3-2 defeat to Hull, they tend to keep sides off the score-sheet. This makes predicting the Under/Over market pretty tricky so let’s go right down the middle and plump for 2-3 goals in the exact goals market. 2-3 Goals is the second of our Rotherham vs Stoke predictions and is available at 11/10 with Bet Victor and looks a decent option in this contest.

Rotherham vs Stoke Anytime Goalscorer Odds

No Rotherham player has netted more than a single goal this season and it’s difficult to pick anyone out from their squad who will reach double figures this season. Stoke have plenty of goalscorers and Benik Afobe is always a threat. He hasn’t had the best service this season but he netted in the cup in midweek and has three for the season in the Championship. Two of those three goals have come on the road and he should be lively throughout this tie. He remains Stoke’s biggest goal threat and although he has already missed a penalty this season, he may be entrusted from the spot once again following Berahino’s miss last weekend. Benik Afobe to score anytime is the third of our Rotherham vs Stoke predictions and is priced at 6/4 with Sport Pesa. You can use their £10 free bet to back Afobe to find the net anytime in this fixture.

Stoke start as favourites for this game and it’s easy to see why. They are expected to be towards the top of the table, not languishing in 18th and there have been some positive moments from the Potters recently. They have more firepower than their opponents and can be backed at 21/20. They need to be at their best here as many sides have already left this ground pointless. Rotherham will be looking to use home advantage once again and are 5/2 to nick three points. The draw, which is the first of our Championship betting tips for this evening’s game is available at 12/5 with Bet365.

Only two of Rotherham’s matches have ended with three or more goals so far this season and it’s 17/20 for this game to feature Over 2.5 Goals. In stark contrast, Six of Stoke’s nine games would have landed for Overs backers. Under 2.5 Goals is available at 19/20. With Rotherham’s penchant for winning 1-0 here, the correct score may interest many people and is available at 10/1. It’s the same price for a goalless draw. Stoke have drawn 2-2 twice away from home this season and it’s 12/1 for that to strike for a third time.

Unsurprisingly, our anytime goalscorer tip, Benik Afobe is top of the first goalscorer market and can be backed at 5/1. Super-sub and author Peter Crouch is next in the betting at 6/1 whereas recently rejuvenated Saido Berahino is available at 11/2 to break the deadlock.
