Rotherham vs Leeds Preview & Prediction
Looking to close the gap on the Championship‘s top two, Leeds United head to the New York Stadium to take on Rotherham in the second tier’s sole fixture on Friday evening.
The fixture will mark the clubs’ returns to action following the culmination of the international window, with the Whites looking to extend their winning run to four straight matches, meanwhile the Millers will bid to win their first game in five.
Leeds narrowly edged Plymouth 2-1 last time out, with Daniel James and Joel Piroe grabbing the goals, and impressively beat table-toppers Leicester City at the King Power in the game prior. It’s a run that has seen Daniel Farke’s side propelled to third in the table, while Rotherham sit four points from safety languishing in a lowly-22nd.
The hosts are without a permanent manager for this one following the dismissal of Matt Taylor after the 5-0 drubbing to Watford last time out, and an interim team of Wayne Carlisle, Scott Brown and Dan Green will lead them out for Leeds’ visit.
We at SportsLens can only see one outcome in South Yorkshire on Friday night, and that is that high-flying Leeds will run rampant and secure a comfortable away win over the struggling Millers.
Prediction: Rotherham 0-4 Leeds
Rotherham vs Leeds Betting Tips
- Leeds To Win & Over 2.5 Goals @ 10/11
- Joel Piroe To Score Two Or More @ 11/2
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 6/1
Rotherham vs Leeds Betting Tip 1: Leeds To Win & Over 2.5 Goals @ 10/11
Our first tip for your Friday night Rotherham vs Leeds Championship bet builder is to back the visitors to win and for over 2.5 goals to be scored throughout the match, priced at 10/11 by the majority of top UK bookmakers.
As previously mentioned, the Millers are in dreadful form and are struggling in the second tier, while Leeds are thriving in third place after suffering a slow start to the campaign.
With three wins from their last three, we expect the Whites to extend their run to four under the New York Stadium lights, and for over 2.5 goals to be scored in the match – a feat which has been achieved in Rotherham’s last two matches, and in four of Leeds’ last six matches.
Rotherham vs Leeds Betting Tip 2: Joel Piroe To Score Two Or More @ 11/2
Leeds look to be without Georginio Rutter due to an abdominal strain for this one, and with Patrick Bamford failing to impress at all thus far in 2023/24, one can only think Joel Piroe will lead the line against Rotherham.
Regardless, if Bamford is afforded a start up top – Piroe will likely sit in behind the striker, as he has done for Rutter in the Whites’ last three outings, making him almost guaranteed to start.
The Dutch forward has been an ever-present figure in Farke’s line-up since his arrival from Swansea City, and already has six goals and an assist to his name since making the move to Elland Road, including a goal last time out against Plymouth.
Considering Rotherham have conceded the most goals in the second tier this term (32), including five in their last match, we expect Leeds to have plenty of opportunities to score. This is why we are backing Piroe to score two or more on Friday evening, priced at 11/2, a feat he has already achieved in two matches this term (for Swansea vs Northampton and for Leeds vs Millwall).
