Celebrate Leeds’ fourth win in a row?

Leeds United are in the fast lane. After a mixed start to the season, the relegated Premier League side returned to winning ways in the weeks leading up to the international break and climbed to third place with a series of victories. This week, the Whites will now kick off the matchday with a visit to Rotherham United.

Leeds’ Friday opponents are currently bobbing around in the red zone and are dependent on every point. However, the Millers, as Rotherham United are also known, will approach the match against the third-placed team in the table as clear underdogs. A Rotherham vs. Leeds betting tip on the visitors is always obvious

In their current form, the Whites shouldn’t have too much trouble against the Championship’s 22nd-placed side. Before the international break, Rotherham went down 5-0 to Watford, their ninth league defeat of the season.

Only the home record is encouraging ahead of the league clash against Leeds. Rotherham have only lost two of their last eight league games at home. Bettors who want to venture a Rotherham vs. Leeds prediction on the host can get odds of up to 7.00.

Rotherham – Statistics & current form

Rotherham United have made a disastrous start to the season so far and are consequently in one of the three relegation places after 16 matchdays. The Millers have a meagre 2-5-9 record in those 16 league games. Since their last win in the Championship, Rotherham have gone four consecutive games without a win.

They even suffered a heavy defeat to Watford before the international break. The Millers were thoroughly outplayed and outclassed in the 5-0 defeat to the Hornets. It was the second-highest competitive defeat of the current season. Only against Stoke City in the League Cup have they conceded more goals (1:6).

Rotherham’s record away from home thus deteriorated to 0-1-7. At home, on the other hand, Rotherham have a record of 2-4-2 after eight home games in the Championship. Rotherham have remained unbeaten in their last three home games, including picking up a point against second-placed Ipswich

Will Rotherham extend their recent home run?

Nonetheless, given the Millers’ current form at Rotherham v Leeds, it’s a risky prediction to make in favor of the home side. In addition to the lack of offensive power, the weak defense also speaks against it. Friday’s opponents Leeds have one of the best offenses in the league with 27 goals.

It will probably only be a matter of time before the Millers score for the first time. Bets on a high-scoring first half have value, especially after the disastrous performance against Watford.

Interim manager Wayne Carlisle, who has taken over for the time being following the dismissal of Matt Taylor, also has some personnel worries. At least five players will be missing on Friday night through injury.

Predicted Rotherham line-up:

Leeds – Statistics & current form

Leeds United have closed the gap on the direct promotion places in the weeks leading up to the international break. The Whites have recently celebrated three wins in a row, including the showdown against leaders Leicester City. Head coach Daniel Farke’s team now travel to upcoming opponents Rotherham United with a broad chest.

The Whites have the chance to improve their poor record on foreign soil. So far, Leeds are just 4-1-3 after eight away games in the Championship. In these eight away games, the Whites have conceded a total of ten goals – an average of more than one goal per match.

It therefore remains to be seen whether Leeds will keep their clean sheet at Rotherham. The Millers have conceded at least one goal in every away game since September 2005. It is possible that the negative trend will continue this time. Betting on this is by no means absurd and can also be placed in the Bet3000 app

Can Leeds take the recent momentum with them?

Leeds are nonetheless the favorites for Friday’s game, as expected. The Whites were in fine form before the international break and have won their last three league games with a goal difference of 7:2. It would therefore be all the more surprising if the series ends against the out-of-form Millers.

Daniel Farke will probably only have to do without three players in his squad for the league game on Friday evening. There are no other personnel concerns. Compared to the starting eleven that celebrated a 2-1 win over Plymouth before the international break, no major changes are expected for the Whites.

Rotherham – Leeds head-to-head comparison / H2H record

Rotherham and Leeds United will meet for the 37th time in total. The Whites lead the H2H against the Millers with a record of 17-6-13. Leeds have prevailed against Rotherham United in the last four league encounters. In three of those four encounters, betting on Over 2.5 goals in the game paid off. A bet on that is by no means out of the question this time either.

The last time Leeds visited Rotherham’s Aesseal New York Stadium, the Whites won 2-1. It was the second away win in a row at the Millers. In the three away games before the recent winning streak at Rotherham, however, the Whites had suffered three defeats

Rotherham – Leeds betting tip

Rotherham United are on thin ice after their recent crisis. The Millers are currently worried about staying in the Championship and have just 11 points after 16 matchdays. In contrast, Friday’s opponents Leeds United have a realistic chance of being promoted back to the English top flight.

The visitors go into the upcoming match in impressive form. Rotherham, on the other hand, have sacked their head coach following their recent defeat and are now being coached by Wayne Carlisle, who previously worked as assistant coach, on an interim basis. Under his leadership, the Millers are unlikely to make any major changes to their game
