Rotherham United will be hoping to continue their recent league revival when they welcome fellow strugglers Burton Albion to the AESSEAL New York Stadium on Tuesday night. After a difficult start to the campaign, The Millers have shown encouraging signs of progress under Matt Hamshaw, pulling themselves clear of the bottom four with a strong run of results.
Having begun October inside the relegation zone, Rotherham have since taken 10 points from their last four league matches, recording three wins and a draw to climb the table. That sequence included notable victories over Wigan Athletic and Cambridge United, while their defensive organisation has also improved markedly during this period.
Prior to the weekend, they had enjoyed five consecutive wins in all competitions, before a 2-1 extra-time defeat away at Swindon Town saw them bow out of the FA Cup.
Burton Albion, meanwhile, have also found form at the right time as they continue their battle for survival. The Brewers have lost just once in their last five league games, picking up three victories and a draw to move out of the relegation zone for the first time since September.
Gary Bowyer’s side claimed an impressive 1-0 win over play-off contenders AFC Wimbledon last time out, a result that demonstrated renewed defensive discipline and belief.
Their momentum was further boosted by a commanding 6-0 FA Cup victory against St Albans City at the weekend, with Tyrese Shade, Charlie Webster and Fabio Tavares each netting twice. Burton now travel north seeking a result that would lift them further from danger and close the gap on Rotherham.
The Betting Verdict
Both sides are improving, but Rotherham United’s home form and resilience under Hamshaw make them slight favourites.
The Pick :
Rotherham Utd 2-1 Burton Albion
