Barnsley 11/8 to beat Rotherham in Tuesday’s Championship matchup

Posted December 28th, 2020 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Championship

Market: Barnsley win

Odds: 11/8 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on what has been a hugely impressive December purple patch, Barnsley will make the trip to a struggling Rotherham on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, immediately slumping back to losing ways earlier in the month, Rotherham find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap. In their 19 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded four wins, four draws and 11 defeats, scoring 18 and conceding 27 in return. Managing to muster themselves just a points tally of 16, they open the midweek fixtures sat down in 21st and with just their goal difference stopping them from falling into the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, including a 2-1 defeat against Blackburn last time out, Rotherham have managed to win just one of their last eight Championship contests, losing six of those appearances. It should also be noted that Tuesday’s hosts have shipped over 1.5 goals in five of their last six second-tier matchups.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a hugely impressive run of form when entering the festive period, Barnsley find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. In their 21 Championship contests so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, four draws and eight defeats, scoring 25 and conceding 27 in return. Flying high with a points tally of 31, the Reds open Tuesday’s fixtures sat all the way up in 10th and knowing that victory in midweek would move them within striking distance of the play-off spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen on Boxing Day when picking up a 2-1 win against Huddersfield on home soil, Barnsley have collected 12 points from just their last five Championship contests. Also collecting back-to-back away victories against Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham earlier in the month, we’re backing a similar result in midweek.
