Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We predict there's very little chance of a bore-draw or a sneaky 1-0 win here, and instead we're tipping over 1.5 goals. That means that Rotherham and Bolton will score at least 2 between them during the standard 90 mins. This is based on the recent form of the respective sides, as well as past records of their head-to-head clashes. We give it a probability of 75%. Bookies have it at 1.30.
