Rotherham - Burton - England Championship

Wager: $153. Round 24 of the English Championship will start today: We continue with EL games at the request of many website visitors. Rotherham United and Burton Albion will meet face to face Thursday night at 20:45 CET (2:45 p.m. EST, U.S.), at AESSEAL New York Stadium (Rotherham, South Yorkshire). Rotherham (Millers) are 24th in the table - 13 points, with no signs to move away from the relegation zone any time soon. However, they played well in their last game defeating Wigan 3-2 at home. So, there is a hope for them. In the last 5 home games they allowed an average of 1.6 GPG.  On the other hand, Burton (Brewers) are 21st with 22 points, out of the relegation zone: They scored just 3 goals in the last 5 away games, low, i.e., an average of just 0.6 GPG.  The 2 teams met recently on Dec. 3rd,  as Brewers beat Millers at home 2-1, total of 3 scored goals. Hence, I am expecting both teams to play careful defense tonight. With that, I pick an option Match Total-"Alternative Goal Line", Under 3.5 goals  Decimal odds (1.325). Click here to learn the difference between Decimal/American odds systems. Unless the amount to bet is defined, our prediction is for a $100 wager.

UPDATE December 29, 2016 - FINAL Result: Rotherham United 1-2 Burton Albion.  Rotherham (Millers) ended 2016 on a losing note as Burton Albion (Brewers) came out 2-1 winners at the AESSEAL New York Stadium thanks to 1st-half goals from John Brayford and Jackson Irvine. Tom Adeyemi’s 2nd goal for the club gave the Millers hope to make it 1-2 in the end of the 1st half.  Despite a late rally from the home side in the 2nd half, the Staffordshire side, Burton Albion (Brewers), successfully ran down the clock to claim a victory. Nigel Clough’s Brewers kept Rotherham at bay and took 3 full points. Both teams played good defense, as we expected, regardless of the late 1st half "scoring spark" - the 3 (match) goals were scored in just 9 minutes. The match total was 3 goals, below of our projection of Under 3.5 Goals, and our bet Won: $153 invested funds would result in total return of $203 ($153 Principal + $50 Net Profit). We are now in a 4-game winning streak after this match. Click here to see our play in the NHL last night.
