On Saturday, February 11, Blackpool will host Rotherham United at Bloomfield Road for a matchday 31 match in the EFL Championship.
In midweek, the hosts drew 2-2 with Huddersfield Town at the same location. At the break, Blackpool was down to ten men and trailing. However, the game came to an exciting end when three goals were scored in the final 15 minutes to split the spoils.
Last weekend, Rotherham and Sheffield United played out a goalless home match that ended in a tie.
The two teams are now 23rd and 20th in the standings, respectively, as a result of the draws. Rotherham is four points above the drop zone with 32 points, while Blackpool are second from bottom with 27 points.
Blackpool vs Rotherham Team News :
Although Blackpool is odds-on favorites to win this match, they are still located north of the evens (2.00) line, so the odds aren’t 100% accurate. That immediately creates doubt in the minds of punters, and there is every chance that this will convince a few people to bet on a Rotherham victory because they believe the Millers offer better value. Another market that might get a lot of attention is the total goals market because of the strong over 2.5 betting option.
You can say what you want about Mick McCarthy, but he seems to instill grit and determination in his players right away, and they showed that the last time they played. Mass changes are never very likely, as long as McCarthy is getting a lot of energy from his players. Having said that, the starting XI might be slightly altered due to the success of some players on the bench in the middle of the week. In the meantime, Gary Madine won’t play because he got a red card.
Since losing in the FA Cup to Ipswich, ironically Mick McCarthy’s former employer, Rotherham has won two games and drawn two others. They recently defeated Sheffield United by a point in that run. It would be extremely unfair for that team to make any changes to their lineup, especially when you consider that a draw would be much better for Rotherham than a loss to Blackpool.
Blackpool vs Rotherham Match Details :
- Blackpool – Rotherham United

- Venue: Bloomfield Road, Blackpool, England
Blackpool vs Rotherham Prediction :
Blackpool must begin accumulating points in order to avoid the drop because they have a limited amount of time to maintain their Championship status. A win against a team that is also fighting for relegation would be a good place to get their first win in 13 attempts because it would put them one point behind Rotherham and give them a game in hand.
Due to the fact that this is a six-point relegation game, neither team wants to lose to a relegation rival, so a low-scoring draw could result.
Prediction: Blackpool 1-1 Rotherham
