Rotherham United vs Derby Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Rotherham are in the bottom three but only a point from survival. They host fifth placed Derby who still have an outside chance of making the top two. The home side are on  good run at present with three straight league wins following a run of seven without a win. The arrival of Neil Warnock as manager certainly seems to have worked and they have a decent chance of staying in the Championship now. They've been playing some good sides too with wins over Brentford, Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough so Derby at home won't scare them. Derby are fifth in the table and with games against fellow promotion chasers Cardiff and Hull up after this, they know they can't afford many mistakes and dare not fade away as they did last season when failing to even make the play-offs after being top at one stage. Away form is a worry for them with just one win in their last seven and two straight defeats at Wolves and QPR. This really is a difficult game to predict but Rotherham do seem to be in the better form of the two especially considering Derby's weakness away from home this year. I think a bet on under 2.5 goals is the best bet in a game that really could go either way.
