Rotherham United v Birmingham City : League One match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 21st Sep, 15:00 BST, AESSEAL New York Stadium, Rotherham

Rotherham United are in League One action on Saturday afternoon, as Steve Evans looks to get one over on Chris Davies and his Birmingham City side at the AESSEAL New York Stadium. All the odds are provided directly from the bookmaker, while predictions are algorithmically generated from statistics over a 20-game period. We focus especially on League One match data, including head to head (H2H) performance. Click the tabs below to explore it all.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We make over 1.5 goals our best tip on this one, meaning that the sides will score a minimum of 2 goals between them during the standard 90 mins. Both Rotherham and Birmingham's latest form stats suggest things will go that way, while their head-to-head (H2H) record adds further weight to the argument. The bookies make it the most probable outcome in this market too, available at 1.25.
