Rotherham United v Brentford
A meeting between two sides that have been promoted from League 1 last season at the New York Stadium as both sides look to build on a steady start to life in the Championship.
After a tough opener at Derby, Rotherham have applied themselves well picking up wins against Wolves and last weekend against Millwall. There was a midweek loss at Swansea in the League Cup but Rotherham’s focus this season is certainly on the league and cementing themselves as a Championship outfit. Both of Rotherham’s wins this season have been to nil and similarly their defeats have seen them fail to score so this is a game to avoid on your BTTS coupon.
Much like Rotherham, Brentford have overcome a tough start where games come thick and fast to sit in mid-table at the end of the month. Their only league win this season came at Blackpool, although the Bees put in solid displays against Birmingham and Charlton to take a share of the spoils. Star man Adam Forshaw was sold to fellow Championship side Wigan this week leaving the Bees a little light in midfield however boss Mark Warburton says he is happy with the fee raised from the sale of the 22-year-old. Andre Grey has slotted straight into Championship football and in their game against Bournemouth I saw first hand what a handful he can be. He will score goals at this level and is this game’s key man.
Score prediction: 2-0 Rotherham win
