Rotherham return home looking to end a miserable spell after a 2-0 defeat to Luton, but with relegation already confirmed, motivation is clearly lacking. As both Rotherham and Reading will be with guards down in Saturday's encounter, we predict a 2-2 draw. The Millers' recent numbers paint a bleak picture, picking up just 0.50 points per game across the last ten matches. Rotherham have scored only 0.50 goals per game while failing to find the net in 70% of those outings, which highlights serious attacking issues. Conceding 2.00 goals on average with an xGA of 1.48, they continue to struggle at both ends of the pitch, and injuries to Kayode and Powell only add to their problems.
Reading are not in great shape either, entering this clash on a three-game losing run and already out of the playoff race. However, their overall output is still stronger, averaging 1.30 goals per match and seeing BTTS land in 60% of their games. Defensively vulnerable with just 10% clean sheets, the Royals still look more balanced than the hosts.
Given both sides’ poor form, a tight but open contest could be on the cards. Therefore, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Away Win (lightly more reliable).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 25 April 2026 at 15:00.
