The teatime kick off in the Championship sees Leeds make the short trip to the New York Stadium to face struggling Rotherham. We’ve got three Championship betting tips for the 17:30 kick off.
Leeds were given a footballing lesson by Newcastle United last weekend in front of the SKY cameras and they’ll be hoping to put in a much better performance this time around. The Whites had been on a decent run of form but struggled to get near the leaders in the centre of the park and two Dwight Gayle strikes were enough to extend the Magpies lead at the summit. It still leaves the West Yorkshire outfit in a decent position just outside the play-offs and single point behind out-of-form Norwich in 6th place. Leeds have won three of the last four, so Garry Monk must pick his players up and make sure they don’t dwell on the disappointment. They will fancy their chances against the leagues bottom side who cannot defend. They will be looking for revenge following the Millers 2-1 win here in April. Kenny Jackett came in and gave Rotherham a slight lift, but it was business as usual as they slumped to a 3-0 away defeat to Derby. Tom Ince missed a penalty and chance to bag a hat-trick so the damage could have been far worse. Rotherham haven’t won since the 20th of August when they surprisingly beat Brentford here. They have scored just 17 goals this season and shipped 41 so far and are staring League One straight in the face. Jackett will turn things around given time, but he doesn’t have the squad at his disposal at the moment and will need to significantly strengthen in January.
Rotherham vs Leeds Utd: Head to Head Stats
Leeds has not won this fixture in 11 years though the teams have only played each other 4 times in that period when Rotherham have been the home side. Since then the club have switched grounds and are in poor form so it’s hard to draw much conclusions from that. Last season Rotherham won 2-1.
Rotherham vs Leeds Utd: Predictions
This on the face of it should be an away victory but the bookies are hooking us in at the price of evens. But it is worth the risk because Leeds are in really good form.
