Middlesbrough Rotherham United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Looking at the current moment of the two formations, it is possible to see some discomfort when finishing the offensive moves, and for this reason, the match will tend to be very balanced and with few chances of goals. In addition, both teams have low average goals scored under these conditions: Middlesbrough scored an average of 1.25 goals and Rotherham United shot an average of 0.73 goals per match. Thus, risking in favor of the "Under 2.5 Goals" market is a good option.
