Rotherham vs Sunderland Prediction & Betting Tips (29 December)

Sunderland may have been struggling somewhat on their own patch of late, but the Sunderland have endured no such difficulties on the road, collecting ten points from a possible 15. Having lost seven of their last nine home games at this level, Rotherham can only dream of such impressive form, and it is easy to see why Rotherham find themselves less better.

It would be fair to say that Rotherham are not the most exciting team to watch in the Championship, as 16 of their previous 19 matches have produced no more than a couple of goals. Given that seven of the last nine Sunderland away games in the top-flight have also been of the under 2.5 goals variety, any deviation from this script would come as a surprise.

It has been quite unusual to see both teams on target in recent Rotherham home matches, with this being the case in just six of their previous 19 games in the league. What’s more, Sunderland have either failed to score or kept a clean sheet in each of their last four away matches at this level, so it would come as a surprise were the net to bulge at both ends here.
