Rotherham United and Peterborough United are both riding high in the League One with their 5th and 4th positions respectively. Expect a great game!
It's no vacation for neither Rotherham United nor Peterborough United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Rotherham United form and stats
When playing at home in the League One, Rotherham United have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 10 games.
Rotherham United are returning here after visiting Shrewsbury Town in a League One game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Before that, Rotherham United drew at home versus Fleetwood Town.
This is expected to be a close game, with Rotherham United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rotherham United as a small favourite), we find seven games. Rotherham United has won 4 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Blackpool are coming to town in three days.
A decent goal production from Rotherham United in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Peterborough United form and stats
Playing away, Peterborough United, who have the most scored goals (43) in League One, have won 3 games, drawn 4 and suffered 4 defeats in the League One this season. Peterborough United has drawn their two previous away games.
Peterborough United have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 247 minutes ago. I. Toney was the goal scorer.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus Doncaster Rovers with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Bristol Rovers that ended 0-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Peterborough United playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were 3 Peterborough United wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Peterborough United manager D. Ferguson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Lincoln City.
