Peterborough vs Rotherham Predictions

• Rotherham have won each of their last five League One fixtures.
• Peterborough have lost four of their last six League One fixtures.
• Rotherham have scored at least two goals in each of their last eight League One away games.
• Peterborough have scored under 1.5 goals in nine of their last 11 League One games.

Peterborough have endured a rough patch of form in recent weeks

Peterborough will host top-of-the-table Rotherham this Saturday in League One action. Peterborough currently sit in seventh place in the League One table. They are just one point away from the play-off places, at present. They will have a tough task attempting to end a recent run of poor form against the in-form league leaders this weekend. 

Peterborough have struggled to find positive results in recent weeks. They have won just one of their last seven League One games. Furthermore, they have lost four of their last six League One fixtures. This run includes their 4-0 loss away to Saturday’s opponents Rotherham.

In addition to that, Peterborough’s reliable home form has taken a dip in recent weeks. They have failed to win two of their last three League One home games. Peterborough’s recent form will be unlikely to give them confidence going into Saturday’s game against the league leaders.

Rotherham’s impressive form

In contrast to Peterborough, league leaders Rotherham have been enjoying a positive run of form in recent weeks. Rotherham are currently undefeated in their last seven League One fixtures. Furthermore, they have won each of their last five League One games. 

In addition to that, Rotherham have impressed away from home this season. Rotherham currently have the second-best away record in League One for the 2019/20 season. They have earned 26 points from their 13 League One away games. 

Only Ipswich Town (28) have earned more points than Rotherham away from home, however, Ipswich have also played one more away game than Rotherham. Rotherham have impressively earned more points-per-game away from home this season than any other side. They have earned an average of two points per game away from home. 

Rotherham have lost just one of their last eight League One away games, winning six. We feel that their strong run of form will encourage them going into this Saturday’s fixture. 

We may see goals scored at both ends in this game

Rotherham’s recent run of form has been backed up by their goalscoring ability in recent weeks. The league leaders have failed to score in just one of their last 12 League One games. Furthermore, Rotherham have scored in 12 of their 13 League One away games this season. 

However, despite their recent form, they have not been shutting teams out at the other end in recent weeks. Rotherham have kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 League One games. They have also conceded at least one goal in each of their last five League One away games. 

Meanwhile, Peterborough have scored in all but two of their 13 League One home games this season. We feel that they are likely to cause problems for Rotherham at the back in this Saturday’s fixture. 

We feel that given both sides’ recent form Rotherham have a good chance of earning all three points here. We are backing Rotherham to win this game.

Rotherham have scored at least two goals in each of their last eight League One away games. Meanwhile, Peterborough have scored under 1.5 goals in nine of their last 11 League One fixtures and four of their last five League One home games. We feel that a 2-1 win for Rotherham may be a likely result here.
