Betting on Rotherham United
Being two places from the relegation zone, Rotherham United wants to be saved. But with only two wins in the last 8 games, it is getting complicated. The last two games have been defeats, and the team has fallen further and further in the standings.
Against Birmingham, Rotherham lost by 2-0. In the first half, it was hardly struck by two mistakes. After that, although the team had the ball, it could not score. It only had one shot on goal, and it is difficult to score points with such low goal chances.
The last game was against Preston, and Rotherham went down by 2-1. As in the Birmingham game, it all happened in the first half. Two goals from the rival happened due to mistakes, and then the team was unable to equalize. What’s more, in this game, Rotherham had only one shot on goal. The team hardly gets any results.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Viktor Johansson; Wes Harding, Lee Peltier, Cameron Humphreys, Leo Fuhr Hjelde; Hakeem Odofin, Conor Coventry, Tarique Fosu-Henry; Chiedozie Ogbene, Jordan Hugill, Shane Ferguson.
Betting on Cardiff City
The team is one place away from relegation. It has improved a bit, and has stayed on the verge of relegation, but one push and it is good to go. Three wins in the last few games are showing life signs.
Against Preston, Cardiff City lost by 2-0. The team was always fighting the game, but at 68 it conceded the first goal, for despair made an appearance, so much so that goalkeeper Jak Alniwick was sent off to avoid a counterattack. However, at minute 94, the team conceded the second goal, although it is not a bad team.
Cardiff City is trying to reach the safe zone, which could be achieved by winning this game, because if those at the bottom of the standings overtake it, Cardiff could suffer. This is so because the bottom of the Championship is very tight, and there is not much time left in the calendar.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Ryan Allsop; Perry Ng, Cedric Kipré, Mark McGuinness; Jaden Philogene, Andy Rinomhota, Romaine Sawyers, Ryan Wintle, Callum O’Dowda; Sory Kaba, Kion Etete.
JefeBet Prediction
Rotherham plays better at home, since it has won 7 out of 18 games played there. Cardiff, on the other hand, is not a great visitor, since it has only won 4 games in the whole tournament. On this occasion, however, the moments of both teams matter; so we believe that Cardiff will be the one to get the victory, which would mean a step further into the safe zone, since Rotherham would remain on the edge of the abyss, because it would still face the risk of getting into the relegation zone.
Prediction: Rotherham United 1-2 Cardiff City
