Rotherham vs Middlesbrough Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Both teams have scored in each of Middlesbrough’s last six games
• Rotherham have won just one of their last nine games
• Middlesbrough have scored three or more goals in each of their last nine wins

Middlesbrough secure playoffs

Middlesbrough have a guaranteed spot in the playoff places despite having two games still to play, with a five point gap separating them from fifth-placed Coventry, who have one game remaining. They face a visit to a Rotherham side who will be fighting for points to secure safety.

Middlesbrough are the favourites going into this fixture, with Rotherham having won just one of their last nine games. However, with the visitors having kept clean sheets in just 5% of their away fixtures this season, and having seen both teams score in each of their last six games, Rotherham could make it tough for them. As a result, a tip for Middlesbrough to win and both teams to score stands out for this one.

Rotherham scrapping for survival

The Millers are two points outside of the relegation zone, with this being their game in hand over each of the sides below them, and even a point in this game would essentially secure their Championship status due to their vastly superior goal difference.

Middlesbrough come into Monday afternoon’s fixture having scored three or more goals in each of their last nine wins, while Rotherham have a good goalscoring record at home, averaging 1,64 goals scored per game, and could test the Boro defence. A correct score prediction of 3-1 Middlesbrough looks best here.
