Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's fairly unlikely that this match will have 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats point in the same direction as KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Blackpool and Rotherham haven't typically treated their fans to goal-fests of late, whether that be in League One individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.33.
