What to expect

We expect about 0.9 goals from Northampton and 0.8 from Rotherham, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 1.8 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.

Rotherham come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Over 2.5 goals. This does not need a goal rush: we make it around 1.7 goals (xG 0.9-0.8), and three is enough to land it, landing about 43% of the time on these numbers.

We put the chance of that landing at about 41 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.99, which works out at about 50 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Northampton have won one of their last five.
Rotherham have won one of their last five.
Three of the last four meetings had three goals or more.
Both teams scored in two of the last four meetings.
