Manchester City v Rotherham Preview
The Citizens will be expected to be at the business end of things when it comes to this season’s FA Cup. They get a comfortable opener to start their campaign as they play Rotherham. The last time they were together was in the 2001/02 Division 1 season with Man City taking four points from the two meetings on that occasion.
Manchester City are actually undefeated in their ten previous fixtures against Rotherham (W7 D3). Given that the power and goals that City are able to produce, especially on home soil, many punters are likely to be putting the Citizens into the hat for the fourth round draw before this one has kicked off.
Rotherham have been having a tough season in the relegation zone of the Championship. They did get a win on New Year’s Day to start the new calendar year on a positive. They took a great home win against Preston to sit fourth from bottom. That was their fifth league win in 26 league games this season though.
It snapped a nine-match winless streak of form that they were on. The Millers have not had a great season on the road, and that is actually a bit of an understatement. They have no away win in any competition this season. In fact, their away record is D4 L10 this season. They have been to a Premier League side this season. They visited Everton in the EFL Cup and lost 3-1 at Goodison Park.
Manchester City v Rotherham Predictions
Man City to win: This looks to be as foregone of a conclusion as the FA Cup third round is going to churn out. Manchester City to win to nil is something of an acca banker at 8/13 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on 3rd January 2019 at 11:43 p.m.)
