Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner here, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Rotherham and Barnsley will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Steve Evans or Darrell Clarke has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.29 equating to roughly a 77% probability.
