Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may not be what the neutrals want to hear, but it's all-but impossible to predict a goal-fest here. The stats suggest Exeter and Rotherham both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, in the absence of obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Exeter are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 43% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.60.
