Competition: League One
Market: Rotherham United is not taking a bet
Chances: 4/5 @1xBet
Looking for a route to the top half of the League One standings, Rotherham welcome Blackpool to the New York Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Starting with the home side, while Rotherham may have had to settle for one point in four of their previous five League One appearances, the Millers have recently built a reputation for their gritty approach in Yorkshire. Building on their EFL Trophy adventure last time out when they romped their way to a stunning 7-2 romp in Salford, Matt Hamshaw’s side will be desperate to use that best performance of the season as a platform to build on. Knowing they can find a route to the top half of the League One table in midweek, the Reds have not suffered a single defeat within 90 minutes of their previous thirteen consecutive appearances in all competitions. With that run stretching all the way back to early October, Rotherham should smell a real opportunity here. After securing a dominant 3-0 win against Lincoln last month, Wednesday’s hosts should also be excited about their extended success in Yorkshire. In fact, Hamshaw’s side have suffered just one defeat at the New York Stadium this season.
As for the visitors, while some in the Blackpool camp may have started the 2025/26 season with their sights set on another genuine play-off charge, the Seasiders find themselves at the heart of a major League One nightmare. Despite continuing their FA Cup adventure last time out when they recorded a 4-1 win at home to National League team Carlisle, that is the only win Ian Evatt’s side have recorded in any of their last six outings in all competitions. By scrapping it at the foot of the table to open Wednesday’s trip to Yorkshire in the relegation spots, the former Bolton boss has also seen his side build a reputation for their problems on the road. Blackpool were last seen on their travels losing 4-2 to Harrogate but have managed just one win at Bloomfield Road so far this season. Once again a true underdog candidate, it should also be highlighted that the Seasiders have lost all their previous four consecutive trips to Rotherham by an aggregate score of 8–2.
