SUNDERLAND PREVIEW – CAN BLACK CATS NAIL HOME WIN?
Sunderland are only D2 L1 so far this season on home turf in the Championship.
They opened with back-to-back draws against Coventry and QPR.
On the weekend they suffered a 1-0 home loss against Norwich.
The home win is at 11/10 for Sunderland vs Rotherham betting tips*
Will they be able to get off the mark at the Stadium Of Light?
There will be an obvious concern about the lack of clean sheets by them this season.
Sunderland are without one thus far on home turf.
The Black Cats are finding their footing in the second tier after earning promotion back there.
Sunderland’s two league defeats this season have been against current top-four sides.
A positive for them is that they have scored in all but one of their league matches this season.
Not so positive is that ahead of their match with Norwich on the weekend, they lost boss Alex Neil.
He went off to join Stoke and that has thrown a huge spanner in Sunderland’s works.
Four of Sunderland’s six matches this season have gone under 2.5 goals.
The Under 2.5 goals option is at 8/11 while squeezing the line down to Under 1.5 is at 11/5*
ROTHERHAM PREVIEW – MILLERS TO TAKE THEIR CHANCE?
Rotherham have posted an unbeaten W2 D3 record this season in the Championship.
It has been a good start by the Millers, whose two wins have come at home.
On the road, there have been low-scoring draws at Preston and QPR.
They do go to the Stadium of Light on the back of a victory on the weekend.
Rotherham claimed a comfortable 2-0 home win over Birmingham.
Rotherham have been good in defence this season.
They have shipped only two goals in their five matches in this campaign.
So that would again indicate that a low-scoring affair is on the cards in midweek at the Stadium of Light.
But the Millers look capable of avoiding defeat based on their recent form.
