Rotherham v Plymouth

Rotherham vs Plymouth Preview

Rotherham United halted a previously miserable 16-match winless run in the Championship with a welcome and desperately needed 2-1 home win against Millwall on Easter Monday to hand The Millers a very rare three-point haul but nevertheless the hosts still remain firmly rooted to the bottom of the Championship table, while Plymouth Argyle dropped down into the relegation mire as The Pilgrims were handed another loss on Monday, this time being a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Bristol City.

Prior to their rare victory over Millwall, Rotherham United had slumped to 11 defeats within their previous 16 games in the Championship which has contributed to almost certain relegation down to League one as Thursday night's hosts still find themselves 18 points adrift of their fourth from bottom visitors Plymouth Argyle and safety.

Rotherham United have found home wins tough to come by in this season's Championship campaign as The Millers have managed to collect just one win from their last eight games at their AESSEAL New York Stadium and goals could also be in short supply as six of Rotherham United's last eight home games have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals scored as well.

Plymouth Argyle have slipped down the Championship table and down into a worrying 21st place in the English second tier standings after being dealt a fifth defeat in their last six games with a 1-0 loss at home to Bristol City and The Pilgrims now find themselves sitting just one place and one point above the bottom three clubs ahead of this upcoming trip to Yorkshire on Thursday night.

Previous defeats at the hands of Ipswich Town, Sheffield Wednesday, Preston NE, Norwich City and Bristol City respectively have overshadowed Plymouth Argyle's point gained in a 1-1 draw away from home at Blackburn Rovers while the bigger picture shows the west country visitors have managed to muster just the single victory from their last 11 matches overall.

Within this poor run of results, Plymouth have slumped to eight defeats within these previous 11 games and therefore places the visitors at risk of failing to gain a result at the AESSEAL New York Stadium especially as The Pilgrims have recorded just two wins from their last 22 outings on the road at Championship level.

11 of Plymouth's last 22 away games have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals being scored as well, while failing to score on eight occasions and keeping just five clean sheets.

Rotherham United v Plymouth Argyle Verdict

Both Rotherham United and Plymouth Argyle have produced disappointing sequences of results in the Championship for some time now so this upcoming encounter may not be a classic by any stretch of the imagination but Rotherham United have won two of the last three meetings.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 1.90

Other side bets worth considering:

Rotherham United win @ 3.80
