Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's fairly unlikely that this fixture will serve up 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Rotherham and Northampton have seldom been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in League One individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a strong favourite win or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.22.
