Rotherham vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 20/04/2024, 01:19  by Matthew Newman in Championship Predictions

A Championship contest on Saturday afternoon will see Rotherham play Birmingham. Rotherham are already relegated with just 23 points on the season. They have a single win in their last 20 matches which was a 2-1 victory over Millwall on Easter Monday. When better teams have visited this season, they have managed to up their game, but have struggled in games that they should have got points from. They beat Norwich and took points against Leeds and Ipswich at New York Stadium but just a single point from Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield, the other two teams in the relegation zone with them. Only twice in their last eight home games, they have managed to score a goal, something that has cost them.

Birmingham have a single point in their last eight away games, their form at St Andrews helping them with 33 of their 45 points this season coming at home. Sitting one point above the relegation zone at present, they need to find some form on their travels to try and secure a future in the Championship. It was a goalless draw when Rotherham visited them in December, something that has not happened when Birmingham has been away this season, keeping two clean sheets and being blanked nine times on the road but never at the same time. They have scored in four of their last five on the road, including at Ipswich and at Leicester so they will hope that they can take something from this one.
