Rotherham vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Predictions
Rotherham United's poor form finally sealed their relegation to League One next season. They host Middlesbrough in their final game in the Championship and it's a vital game for the away team. Middlesbrough are seventh in the league and only a point behind Derby County in sixth position, the final promotion play-off position. They have been in the play-off places for the majority of the season but had a terrible run of form that saw them lose six games in a row. Form has picked up though with four wins from their last five league matches. Sixth-placed Derby have a better goal difference so Boro will need to win this game and hope Derby fail to beat fourth-placed West Bromwich Albion. They have only won one of their last five away league games with nine for the whole season ending in victories.
The home side have lost four of their last five league games and are already down. They have only won two of their last nine home league fixtures and their defending is appalling. Rotherham have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 16 home league matches. A total of 36 goals have been conceded on home soil, the worst record in the Championshp with 81 conceded altogether, again the league's worst performance. Go for Middlesbrough to get the win in this game.

Our Rotherham vs Middlesbrough Prediction
But for a bad patch earlier this year, Middlesbrough would have comfortably already qualified for the play-offs. They have fought back well with four wins in five games and this game at Rotherham looks an ideal one for them to get a win. That might still not be enough to get them in the play-offs but the tip here is for a Boro victory against a relegated side that just can't stop conceding goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
