Rotherham vs Shrewsbury – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing.

Rotherham to Win

Rotherham got back to winning ways against Lincoln (2-1) on Tuesday after a nervous three-game wobble and with some of the pressure alleviated the league leaders should be able to enjoy more success against Shrewsbury on Saturday. The Millers have lost just one of their last 15 league assignments at the AESSEAL New York Stadium and their strength at home should get them over the line again.

Both Teams to Score

Shrewsbury enjoyed one of their most productive evenings of the campaign so far on Tuesday when they trounced Morecambe 5-0 and with their confidence levels topped up, they could breach Rotherham’s defences on Saturday. The Millers are averaging over 2.0 goals per game on their own patch this term however, so back the title chasers to bite back. Both teams notched in three of Rotherham’s last four home outings and we’re tipping that pattern to continue this weekend.

Half Time Result – Rotherham

Rotherham have been strong starters this season and remarkably, they have been behind at half time just once in 38 League One fixtures in 2021/22. At home, they have been out in front at the interval in an impressive 12 out of 19 matches and their ability to strike early blows makes them an excellent choice in the half time result market against Shrewsbury.

Rotherham vs Shrewsbury Match Preview and Team News

Rotherham

Freddie Ladapo, Georgie Kelly and Will Grigg are all listed as injured for Rotherham, while Jamie Lindsay is considered doubtful having sat out Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Lincoln. The Millers lead the way in League One by four points, though they have played two games more than second-placed Wigan.

Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury have a relatively clean bill of health ahead of the weekend with midfielder David Davis the club’s only major injury worry. Shrewsbury’s 5-0 win over Morecambe on Tuesday was their biggest of the campaign so far, though they had won only once in 12 attempts before that.
