Bitesize Prediction: Peterborough vs Rotherham – 12/10/24

Competition: League One

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Two sides who will be looking to skyrocket their way into the play-off places, Peterborough will welcome Rotherham to London Road on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Peterborough might have opened October in the midst of a minor rut as they only mustered a sole point from any of their three League One appearances, the Posh have certainly claimed a welcomed boost over the past week. Collecting back-to-back victories against Stevenage and extending on their 100% start to this season’s EFL Trophy, Darren Ferguson’s men will be looking to use that success as a platform to build on. However, signing off September with an action-packed 3-2 defeat at the hands of leading title contenders Birmingham, the former Doncaster boss is calling on his side to find some defensive stability. In fact, Peterborough have failed to register a single clean sheet from any of their first 10 League One appearances so far this season. Nevertheless, still tipped as a standout play-off candidate this year, it should still be noted that Saturday’s hosts have won their last three showdowns at London Road across all competitions by an aggregate score of 7-3.

As for the visitors, although Rotherham might have come stuttering out of the blocks when making their League One return this season, the Millers now find themselves in an almost identical position to Saturday’s opponents. Appearing to have turned a real corner since opening October, the Yorkshire-based outfit are dreaming of the chance to book an immediate Championship return this year. Last seen earlier in the week collecting a 3-1 victory against Newcastle’s U21s while in EFL Trophy action, Steve Evans’ men have won each of their previous three appearances. Likewise, collecting what was an impressive 2-1 win at home against Reading, the one-time Peterborough boss will be looking to get one over on his former club this weekend. Losing just one of their previous eight matchups across all competitions, Saturday’s guests are also seeking their own defensive stability. It should be highlighted, Rotherham have recorded just a pair of clean sheets from any of their first 10 League One appearances.
