Rotherham vs Leeds Betting Tips & Predictions

Much of the attention here will be on the dug-outs with Steve Evans visiting Rotherham, who he managed until the opening weeks of this season. The Millers looked doomed to relegation at one point but another man who divides opinion has steadied the ship considerably and Neil Warnock has led Rotherham out of the relegation zone and up to 20th thanks to a fine run of form. Rotherham have won 4 of their last 5 matches and their only dropped points must still have felt like a win when they fought back from 3-0 down to draw with Derby. Their last 4 games have all been against sides currently in the top 8 so it really has been a remarkable turnaround.

Leeds are heading towards a mid-table finish and it’s still hard to know what to make at them. In recent weeks they have won impressively on the road at Cardiff and Blackburn and were on a 3 game winning streak before their latest setback when they were hammered 4-1 at home by Huddersfield last time out in another Yorkshire derby. The game before their 3 game winning streak was also a 4 goal defeat so you never really know what you are going to get from Leeds.

Rotherham are on a roll though and are all of a sudden playing like a team that believes it belongs in this league and is going to give everything they possibly have to try and stay there. They could move 5 points clear of the drop-zone with a win here and that is some incentive given they have spent almost the entire season in the bottom 3. If they can repeat their level from before the international break they could well see off Leeds so consider backing Rotherham 0.0 Asian Handicap at 1.675.
