Our prediction for this EFL Cup match:
Rotherham
Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 2-1
Morecambe
Rotherham United welcome Morecambe at their Aesseal New York Stadium in the EFL Cup round 1. The Millers made a slow start to the season, with the team losing at Stoke City (1-4) and, no doubt, they are eager to get back on course as soon as possible. Experienced midfielder Cafu is banned for the match, while experienced defender Lee Peltier is likely to return to the starting XI.
The Shrimps, meanwhile, kicked off the new League Two campaign with a 2-1 win over Walsall, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the Millers. Since Rotherham want this win more than Morecambe, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Lancashire empty-handed. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team. In their last encounter at the venue Rotherham recorded a routine 2-0 win over Morecambe.

Highlighted Team (Rotherham):
Rotherham United are an English club that compete in the Championship. Rotherham United are located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and they play their home games at New York Stadium and the capacity of the venue is 12,021.
The club was founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham County and Rotherham Town. The colour of Rotherham’s home kit was originally yellow and black, but nowadays they were red and white jerseys. The Millers made it to the FA Cup fifth round on two occasions (1952/1953, 1967/1968) and they have yet to play in the Premier League.
Rotherham United have won the Football League One twice (1950/1951, 1980/1981), but the club’s biggest success is participation in the 1960/1961 League Cup final. Sheffield United are regarded as Rotherham United’s fiercest rivals, but the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster could be considered Rotherham’s big rivals as well.
