Rotherham vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

• Six of Sheffield Wednesday’s seven league games have featured fewer than 2.5 goals.
• The Owls have netted just five goals themselves, conceding six at the other end of the field.
• Five of Rotherham’s seven outings have also produced under 2.5 goals, with the Millers also managing to register just five goals of their own.

South Yorkshire Struggle in Prospect

Wednesday’s South Yorkshire set-to at the New York Stadium looks to have a lack of goals written all over it based on what we’ve seen from these teams so far this term.

Both sides are amongst the lowest scorers in the second tier with just five goals netted in seven, while their matches to date have generally been uninspiring watches.

Six of Wednesday’s seven outings thus far have generated under 2.5 goals, with the same applying to five of the Millers’ seven Championship starts.

With the pair scrapping for points down at the wrong end of the table and little seemingly separating the teams in terms of quality, under 2.5 goals looks the obvious wager for what should be a traditionally dour derby clash.

The Owls are still chasing parity following their 12-point deduction at the start of the campaign and they would be just two places and two points above 18^th placed Rotherham had they not been penalised.

So the draw instantly catches the eye for a game that won’t be viewed by many non-supporters amongst Wednesday’s red-button offing, and 1-1 is our correct score pick.
