Wednesday 7th October

Rotherham vs Leeds UTD
Johnstone's Paint Trophy



Rotherham entertain Leeds on Wednesday Night, the match will be live on Sky Sports 2. Leeds go into this game after a 2-0 defeat away to Peterborough and are currently 4th in League 1. Rotherham who are 22nd (they have actually got 18 points which would put them into 3rd place but have had a 17 point punishment) in League 2, they go into this game with a 4-1 home win other Grimsby at the weekend.

Rotherham have only suffered 1 defeat so far this season, and they are also undefeated at home. Leeds who are 4th in league 1 however have an excellant away form with 5 games 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Team News from bbc.com
"Rotherham are without cup-tied striker Richie Barker for their Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash with Leeds.

The Millers welcome back midfielder Danny Harrison, but Mark Lynch is sidelined for two to three months following shoulder surgery.

Leeds manager Gary McAllister says he has no injured players.

"Goalkeeper David Lucas is in the squad after recovering from a finger injury and defender Alan Seehan is in contention after a three-game ban. "

I think this is going to be a very difficult game to call, Rotherham are in excellant form and are undefeated in 5 games and undefeated at home. Leeds aren't too bad away from home but they are just after a defeat away from home at the weekend.

Leeds have conceded 11 goals in 9 games and have scored 16, Rotherham have conceded 7 and scored 15. Thats an average ratio for both teams of 2.7 goals. I think that this game will be widely entertaining and will have aleast 3 goals.

I think that over 2.5 goals is an excellant bet and its evens at Bet365.com and ladbrokes.com
