Stoke City vs Rotherham United
English League
Date: Saturday, October 31, 2024
Start at 15pm UK
Venue: bet365 Stadium, Stoke-on-Trent.

Stoke City have made a much better start to this year's Premier League than the year before.

The Potters have been trying to catch up when they were standard Premier League members for years now. Could this season be any different?

Stoke have 12 points from their first eight meetings, which is definitely not a bad result. They host Rotherham United on Saturday and three points could boost them significantly in the standings.

The Millers are considered an inferior table material and big losers for this matchup, priced at 4,75.

Stoke vs Rotherham United Prediction

Stoke City have had a decent run over the last 30 days. The Potters have only lost one game, most recently on Tuesday to Swansea City when they managed to defeat Luton Town, Brentford and Preston North End. Games against Birmingham City and Barnsley ended without a win at this stadium.

Manager Martin O'Neil is very experienced and his main role is to get Stoke into the playoffs. The best player so far has been young Tyrese Campbell with two goals and four assists.

Rotherhams' expectations for this season have been much more modest than Stoke's. The Millers are just back in tier two of the league and will be happy with any place in the final standings that isn't below the red line. They ended a long run of midweek wins against Sheffield Wednesday at home, but we don't think they will leave the bet365 Stadium with a point or three.
