Sheffield United vs Rotherham United Prediction and Betting Tips | November 8, 2022 

West Bromwich Albion v Sheffield United - Sky Bet Championship
Sheffield United will host Rotherham United - Sky Bet Championship

Sheffield United will host Rotherham United at Bramall Lane on Tuesday (November 8) night in the Championship.

After a horrid run of results in October, the hosts have recovered form and have resumed their promotion charge. Sheffield are coming off an entertaining 5-2 comeback win over league leaders Burnley, with four different players getting on the scoresheet to help overturn an early deficit. Sheffield sit third in the Championship table with 35 points and will go top with a win on Tuesday.

Rotherham, meanwhile, have struggled to pick up points recently, rapidly descending down the standings. They lost 2-1 against the floundering Norwich City in their last game and will feel gutted to have come away with nothing despitecreating enough chances to pick up a point.

The visitors are 17th in the league table with 22 points from 20 games. They are just two points above the drop zone and will look to widen that gap this week.
