Rotherham v Bristol City Betting Tips [10 December 2022]

Two points separate Rotherham United and Bristol City in the Championship standings ahead of their clash at the AESSEAL New York Stadium in South Yorkshire. Hosts Rotherham United go into this game placed 16th with 26 points, two points and two places ahead of Bristol City. In the last seven matches, Rotherham United have managed just one win. They don’t have a very good run coming into this one and largely it has been down to a poor run in defence. Rotherham United have managed just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches. In half of their last 10 games, they have conceded two or more goals. Both teams have scored in Rotherham’s last four home matches; they have no clean sheet in the last five home games and each of the last three has produced over 2.5 goals.

The World Cup break was a timely one for Bristol City; they had managed just two wins in 14 matches but then and clearly needed time off to strategize. They have no win in their last six matches and failed to score in three of the six games. Both sides scored in three of their last five matches coming into this game and their 0-0 draw with Watford in the last game is their only clean sheet in the last six matches, and just one of two in their last 10 matches. Bristol City do not have a strong away run either; they have just one win in the last five and in that period, they have managed just one clean sheet – in the 2-0- win over West Bromwich Albion. Meanwhile, Bristol City have conceded two or more goals in three of their last five away matches.

These two sides haven’t been convincing in defence and they head into this game hoping to restart action with a win. Based on their results in recent matches, we are backing them to play out a competitive game, each eyeing a win, but both sides scoring looks more promising.
