A nice win for Rotherham United last time playing, versus Scunthorpe United. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-1 with M. Smith, H. Odoffin, W. Grigg and F. Ladapo scoring for the victors.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Cheltenham Town and winning 2-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rotherham have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won four times, drawn zero and lost two.
