Fleetwood vs Rotherham Prediction & Betting Tips (27 August)

It would be somewhat of an understatement to say that Fleetwood have been in impressive form on their own patch of late, with maximum points being collected 15 times out of 20. Rotherham, by way of contrast, have suffered 11 defeats in their previous 19 away matches at this level, with their most recent loss on the road coming in this fixture back this year.

Ten of the last 11 Fleetwood matches in the EFL Cup have served up two goals or fewer, so there is no reason to expect anything different in what is an important game for both sides. In fact, eight of the previous 10 Rotherham away games at this level have also been of the under 2.5 goals variety, meaning that it would come as a shock to see three goals or more.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 11 of the most recent 16 Fleetwood matches on their own patch in the EFL Cup, so thrills and spills have been few and far between. Given that seven of the previous ten Rotherham away games at this level have followed the same pattern, any deviation from this script would come as a shock.
