Rotherham will try to build on their impressive 4–0 win over Exeter, a result that offered some relief after a difficult run. Given Cardiff City's attacking potential, we predict a 2-2 draw. Even without Kayode and Watmore, the Millers produced one of their best attacking displays of the season. However, their overall numbers remain concerning: they concede 2.00 goals per match, keep clean sheets in just 10% of games, and their xGA of 1.56 highlights persistent defensive vulnerability. The Millers allow 1.75 goals per match at home and see 75% BTTS, suggesting another open contest.
Cardiff travel to in South Yorkshire in fine form, unbeaten in five and averaging 1.90 points per game. Their away record (1.20 PPG) is less convincing, but they score 1.40 goals per away match and have seen BTTS land in 100% of away fixtures. Midfielder Alex Robertson, fresh from a brace in the 2–2 draw with Burton, is the player to watch. Defensively, the Bluebirds tend to concede on the road (1.40 per game), but their attacking efficiency and superior expected goals (1.65) often give them an edge.
History is firmly on Cardiff’s side, with 8 wins from 13 H2H meetings and 69% over 2.5 goals. Given Rotherham’s 75% BTTS at home and Cardiff’s 100% BTTS away, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score. Additionally Over 2.5 goals and Cardiff or Draw bets seem appealing.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 7 February 2026 at 15:01.
