Rotherham vs Barnsley Predictions

• Barnsley have won four of their last five Championship games.
• Rotherham have only won one of their last eight league matches.
• Barnsley are unbeaten in four away games against Rotherham, winning three of those matches.

Tykes to triumph in South Yorkshire derby

Barnsley have been upwardly mobile under new manager Valerien Ismael, as he has won nine of his 14 matches in charge, including four of his last five.

Rotherham, by contrast, have only won one of their last eight Championship games, with three of their four home defeats this season coming to nil.

Recent history also favours Barnsley in this fixture, as the Tykes are unbeaten in nine against their South Yorkshire rivals, a run that includes winning on three of their last four visits to the New York Stadium.

Each of those victories have come by a 1-0 scoreline, including on their last visit to Rotherham in January 2017, so we are predicting a repeat of that result on Tuesday.

Indeed, the Millers have only scored one goal in their last four clashes with Barnsley so a narrow away victory seems like a solid prediction.
