Rotherham vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• West Brom are without a win in their last five away games
• West Brom have scored just three goals in their last five games
• Rotherham have lost just two of their last five home fixtures

Rotherham fighting for survival

Rotherham find themselves just two points outside of the relegation zone, although two other teams separate them from the bottom three, and will be fearful of falling into the drop zone soon. They face a visit from a West Brom side fighting to make the playoff places, who are unbeaten in their last four games.

West Brom have been on a strong run in their last four, winning two and drawing two, keeping three clean sheets in that time, but Rotherham can hold some quiet confidence of nicking a result here. West Brom are without a win in their last five away games, while Rotherham have lost just two of their last five home fixtures – including a 0-0 draw with second-placed Sheffield United, and a 2-1 victory against Sunderland. As a result of this, a tip for Rotherham to win or draw on a double chance here looks like it could be a good bet.

West Brom could still make it

West Brom are ninth in the Championship going into Friday’s game, but with only five points separating them from sixth-placed Blackburn and fifth-placed Millwall they can still hold a hope of making the playoffs.

Sticking to the original tip though, Rotherham could throw a spanner in the works with a result here, and given their goalscoring form at home – averaging 1.67 goals per game which is higher than the league average of 1.33 – a correct score prediction of 2-1 to the hosts appeals.
