Rotherham vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction, Tips & Prediction

Rotherham United vs Sheffield Wednesday
England – Championship
Date: Wednesday, October 28, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 45pm CET
Venue: Aesseal Stadium New York (Rotherham).

Rotherham have just one win from their seven games so far on their return to the Championship. The ascended side collected 6 points in the same period with poor form (1W 3D 3L). They will be the hosts after a 3-0 defeat on the road to Reading last time out on the league calendar.

With 12 points deducted from their form by FA decision, Sheffield Wednesday are at the bottom of the table at -4 points. A win is a must for the Owls as they need to get back in the league. They will visit after a 0-1 home defeat to Luton in the Championship.

Rotherham United vs Sheffield Wednesday Head to Head (h2h)

• Only three of their last ten meetings ended in a draw.

• The away team has been undefeated for five games.
• Two of their last three clashes have seen both teams score.
• The hosts have lost just one of nine home games in total.

Rotherham United vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction

Rotherham enjoy home advantage in the game, but are still unfamiliar with the Championship dynamic in the midfield after returning to the Championship. His winless streak on the campaign schedule is clear evidence of Miller's struggle in the games.

In addition, the promoted team won just one of their nine home games against the Owls in their historic h2h since 2001. This points to a slight advantage for the visiting team in the next game, despite being at the bottom of the table.

Sheffield Wednesday won their last game of the season, which will improve player morale with all the hubbub at camp. On the contrary, if not for the federation's decision, the Owls would have had 16 calendar points.

Given that we can expect some goals in the game with both teams displaying good form, knocking over 1,5 goals down is probably the best bet for punters. The double chance favoring Sheffield Wednesday will also be a suitable option to generate decent returns in the match.
