Rotherham vs Sheffield United Match Stats
Rotherham now have netted five goals in their last two Championship fixtures and will fancy their chances of netting here. Sheffield United have seen both teams score in five of their last six and all three if just looking at away games. They were involved in a classic 3-3 draw with Wrexham in the FA Cup and both teams to net appeals here.
United do have the best defensive record in the division but they have conceded at least once in their last three on the road. Shane Ferguson has two in two and as such looks value to net here at prices close to double figures.
