Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner in this fixture, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Rotherham and Barnsley will score 2 or more goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Matthew Hamshaw or Conor Hourihane has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.22 equating to about a 78% probability.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Rotherham are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 40% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.50.
