I waited with this bet until last moment because I wanted to see the most possible line ups for today's match and latest odds movements. Odds on Rotherham slashed down by 0.25 since morning at the biggest asian markets and I fully agree with that trend. I expect even bigger drops prior to the kick off.

Middlesbrough coming for this game with serious squad problems. They are without their 4 key players. Central defender Fry is unavailable. This is huge blow for the team as he is second-best Middlesbrough player in current season according to ratings. Other Middlesbrough key central defender Dijksteel (29 matches) is injured too. Without them Middlesbrough will have big problems to keep clean sheet. Key winger Tavernier is unavailable as well, he is third-best Middlesbrough player according to the ratings. In addition to that key central midfielder Morsy is injured too, he is third-best assistant in current season. That should have very bad impact on their performance today.

Rotherham have big motivation to grab something from today's match as they are involved in fight to avoid relegation, on the other hand Borough plays for nothing till end of the season.

Rotherham is in better form as well, they lost in last round at home against in-form Birmingham, but they played very well and deserved for better result. Expected goals scored for Rotherham 1.89, for Birmingham 0.94. On the other hand Middlesbrough now looks horrible - they are without a single win in last 5 matches in a row, they recorded 4 losses in a row.

First match of the season between both teams at Middlesbrough stadium finished with big 3:0 Rotherham win. Big mental advantage. They should make at least one point in today's match as well.
