Why it might land
  • Northampton Town enter this fixture following a recent run of form that includes three draws in their last five matches.
  • Rotherham United also show mixed recent form with two draws and a single win in their most recent five outings.
  • The bookmakers offer a price of 1.71 for under 2.5 goals which suggests a lower scoring game is expected here.
Why it might not
  • Northampton Town suffered defeats in two of their last five matches which shows they can leak goals at the back.
  • Rotherham United will push for a breakthrough after drawing three of their last five games in the league.

Members analysis

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Northampton Town the side to beat here at 40%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Under 2.5, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Both sides have struggled for clear wins recently and the price on the under looks solid at 1.71. Expect a tight afternoon at Sixfields with few clear openings.

Form and momentum

Northampton Town come in poor, winning 18% of 40 on record. 5 of their 19 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 loss in a row.

Rotherham United come in poor, winning 20% of 40 on record. 3 of their 19 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 draw in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 40% for NHT, 27% for the draw and 33% for ROT once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 1.71, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

When these two meet

Across 2 past meetings ROT have had the better of it, 2 wins to 0, with 0 drawn. Squads change, so read it as colour rather than proof.

Where it could go wrong
  • Northampton Town suffered defeats in two of their last five matches which shows they can leak goals at the back.
  • Rotherham United will push for a breakthrough after drawing three of their last five games in the league.
The bottom line

We back Under 2.5 for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.

Northampton vs Rotherham draw?

The site model calls this a draw and likes under goals at 1.71 because both teams struggle to win. Northampton did lose two of their last five though so they can leak goals at the back. What are you a...
