Rotherham vs Sheffield United Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

The oddsmakers have the visiting Sheffield United as significant favorites here given their excellent run of form. Bettors can back the Blades at odds of 1.67 to take the three points while the home underdogs Rotherham come in at a juicy price of 5.00. The draw fetches a price of 4.00 for those that think the match will end level.

Sheffield United have been in rip-roaring form effectively dating back to November. The Blades are on a 10 match unbeaten run across all competitions, eight of which resulted in victories, which can be extended to a record of 11 wins, two draws and only one defeat over their last 14 fixtures. Their last outing was a thrilling 3-3 away draw against Wrexham in the FA Cup, scoring the dramatic equalizer deep into stoppage time despite playing with 10 men after a red card halfway through the second half. Sheffield will now attempt to win their third consecutive match in the Championship and ninth from their last 10.

Rotherham have been very much on the opposite end of the spectrum and could be in for a relegation scrap as we approach the business end of the Championship campaign. They earned a deserved point in a 1-1 away draw against Watford last Tuesday, a result which followed up the Millers’ convincing 4-0 home win over Blackburn. It’s now two matches without defeat for Rotherham as they look to build on the recent positive momentum which ended a previous seven match winless run. They’ll be put to the test here by one of England’s hottest teams in Sheffield but Rotherham have fared rather well when playing at New York Stadium, losing only four of 13 outings.
