Rotherham vs Millwall Predictions

• Millwall lost only seven of their 23 away league games last season
• One or both teams failed to score in eight of Millwall’s final ten Championship away games last season
• Five of Millwall’s seven Championship away wins last season ended 1-0

Well-organised Lions can grind out narrow victory

Millwall finished on the brink of the Sky Bet Championship promotion places last season and they look a nice price to record victory in their first away game of the 2020-21 campaign at newly-promoted Rotherham.

The Lions ended just two points behind sixth-placed Swansea and they highlighted the defensive qualities that served them so well last season in a goalless draw with Stoke in their Championship curtain-raiser.

Gary Rowett’s side lost only three of their final 15 away assignments last season, keeping clean sheets in nine of those contests including meetings with Swansea, Derby, Nottingham Forest and Preston.

Rotherham got their new season off to a winning start, they were 1-0 victors at Wycombe. However, The Millers needed a 92nd-minute goal from Michael Ihiekwe to seal the points, which was one of only two shots on target. This looks far tougher.

One or both teams failed to score in eight of Millwall’s final ten Championship away games last season and this looks like being another low-scoring encounter between two well-organised sides.

Five of Millwall’s seven Championship away victories last season resulted in slender 1-0 wins, so correct score punters can opt for another low-scorer with Lions coming out on top.
