Rotherham v Wolves Betting Preview
Contrasting fortunes for these two on the opening day of the season, as Wolves took a win over Norwich, while Rotherham went down against Derby. However, the fortunes turned around in the League Cup during the week, with Rotherham winning and Wolves losing. Will Rotherham be able to take a surprise home win at the New York Stadium?
Rotherham v Wolves Betting Tips
Rotherham go as underdogs for this one, largely because they have gone 15 league matches without having beaten Wolves. In that sequence, they have lost nine and drawn six. Not a great record there, but a huge positive for them was Ben Pringle, who created more chances for his team mates than any other player in the Championship on the opening weekend. Rotherham narrowly lost out 1-0 at Derby, but at least showed some signs that they are going to be able to pick up points this term after their promotion from League One.
These two met last season in League One and there were two high scoring matches. There was a 3-3 draw in Rotherham and then a 6-4 win for Wolves back in the Midlands. That snapped a run of five meetings between them, where only one of the games had gone over 2.5 goals. Probably going to be worth looking over 2.5 goals for this current meeting, because both will be eyeing up the chance of precious points against a side just about at the same level after coming up from League One last season.

But Wolves do look to have that extra quality about them, but they are on the road. Four of the last five meetings between these two at Rotherham have ended in a draw so that may not be too bad of an option to roll with on this one at a price of 12/5. Wolves beat ten man Norwich on the opening day of the Championship, but then lost at home in a surprise defeat against Northampton in the League Cup during the week. Still, they have all the form going against the Millers to be able to back them with some confidence.
Wolves have scored 13 goals in their last four league matches against Rotherham, which is an average of 3.25 per game. Again, worth looking over 2.5 goals. Following on from last season, Wolves are actually unbeaten in 11 league games now, nine of them having been won. They have won more league games in 2014 than any other side in the top four tiers of English football. Wolves have a bit of an edge, especially with the likes of Nouha Dicko heading up the anytime goalscorer market at a price of 2/1.
