Rotherham vs Fulham Betting Tips

Both games between the sides last season ended in score draws with the game in South Yorkshire being a 3-3 thriller. We may not see 6 goals again here but there are indications that there could be a few goals again.

Both teams have scored in all of Fulham’s Championship games this season and that has also been the case in 10 of their last 11 league outings. Rotherham meanwhile have netted in all three of their league defeats so far and scored twice at Loftus Road last Saturday but still fell to a 4-2 loss.

Defensive problems are the reason both are where they are in this early Championship table and although many are already writing Rotherham off it is a little premature to do that. Certainly these kind of stats suggest that both teams will score here and you can back that to be the case at 8/11.

Fulham are positive wherever they go under Kit Symons and that should lead to an open game but they don’t seem to have improved much on an awful defensive showing last season when they conceded a staggering 83 goals in their first campaign back in the second tier in over a decade.

Rotherham are still the slight favourites to win this match but both sides are desperate for that first league win of the campaign that would give them a huge boost going into the international break. However there could be a few nerves around as the end of the game nears and it is highly questionable whether either Fulham or Rotherham will have the conviction needed to get over the line and win the game so it could well end all square.

If you’re looking for a correct score bet, then a score draw seems highly likely given how badly both teams are defending and there is more value in backing a 2-2 outcome at 12/1 than plumping for a 1-1 draw at less appealing odds.
