Fleetwood Town vs Rotherham Prediction & Betting Tips

Rotherham's record over the same length of time is more mixed, six wins, eight draws and six losses, with goals shared roughly evenly at both ends. They've drawn a lot, which suggests games that are close rather than one-sided.

Fleetwood's underlying home form has been a bit more solid, but the samples aren't directly comparable.

Comparative Team Statistics: Fleetwood Town vs Rotherham

Head-to-head history

These two have met a dozen times going back to 2012, across League One, League Two, the League Cup and the EFL Trophy. Results have gone both ways over the years, home and away.

The most recent meeting was a League Cup tie in August 2024, which Fleetwood won 2-1. That's useful context but it's a different competition and a squad that's likely changed since.

Where they stand

Fleetwood sit 11th with 10 points from seven games, while Rotherham are just below in 14th on nine points from the same number of matches. It's a single point and three places between them, so there's not much daylight in the league table right now.

Fleetwood have scored eight and conceded seven, Rotherham have scored ten and conceded ten. Neither side has pulled away from the pack yet.

This looks like a genuinely tight match on paper.

Players to watch

Rotherham's P. Mullin has been their most productive forward this season, with three goals in seven matches. He'll be the one they look to for a breakthrough.
