Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It's not the news we want to be reporting, but we don't predict a thriller here. The statistics suggest Rotherham and Cardiff both can struggle to find the net on occasion, and the odds point towards a tie with fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're on the right track here and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals looks like a smart bet.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 38% chance of Cardiff coming away with a win.
