Rotherham vs Middlesbrough Preview

A draw was the best Rotherham could muster in their previous three games. They claimed a 2-2 draw against Burnley, before getting trounced 2-1 against Bristol City. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Cardiff ran out 1-2 winners. They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Rotherham, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though. Rotherham only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Championship matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored ten and conceded ten goals.

Despite losing their latest outing, results have generally been decent in the last three matches for Middlesbrough. They first took out Norwich by 5-1 before downing Hull by 3-1. The winning streak came to an end against Luton, who ran out 2-1 winners. Middlesbrough, meanwhile, won twice, while they’ve drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the Championship. Middlesbrough have been prolific goalscorers in the Championship, not least away from home. Until now, they have been on target 38 times, making them the most scoring away side, while also letting in 36 goals.

No doubt worth keeping in mind before you make a choice for your next accumulator, depending on your betting strategy.

Both Teams to Score
