• All but 7 of the visitors’ 24 league games this term have produced under 2.5 goals.

Stoke Set For Another Stalemate in South Yorkshire

Stoke City have found victories hard to come by of late and they could well be held to another draw by Rotherham at the New York Stadium this Tuesday night.

The Potters have slipped to eighth and four points off the Play-Offs after winning just one of their last eight Championship starts, with five of those games ending all square including their 1-1 draw at Blackburn on Saturday afternoon.

That result also brought up a fourth consecutive draw on the road for Michael O Neill’s men, who simply aren’t scoring enough goals at present to sustain a challenge for the top six. The Potters have drawn a blank in four of their last eight, netting a poultry four goals across that period in total.

It means Stoke are hard to fancy for this midweek clash despite being 14 places and 17 points ahead of Rotherham, who recovered from successive defeats to edge out relegation rivals Derby 0-1 at the weekend.

Paul Warne’s side will take confidence from that crucial win into this fixture and the Millers look capable of holding Stoke and their limited attack. With the visitors involved in a glut of stalemates over the last few weeks and only seven of their 24 games this term producing over 2.5 goals, we’re predicting a draw in this one and also forecasting a goalless ninety minutes.
