Brentford hosts Rotherham in round 35 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 27th at Brentford Community Stadium (London)
Brentford has recently broken into English football. In the previous season, the Bees failed to take one of the first two places but were ranked third and then lost to Fulham in the final of the playoffs. In the fall, Thomas Frank's men combined a successful start in the Championship with the perfect results in the League Cup, where they were stopped only in the semifinals. Perhaps, a lot of effort was spent on this. Brentford has begun to experience problems since February and even suffered three defeats in a row. And in the last month, the club gained too many draws. As a result, even after the victory over Bournemouth, the Bees have no chance to move Watford from the 2nd place. It is already clear how everything will end – the second place is unattainable, but Brentford will not leave the playoff zone.

The Millers have been proving lately that they are too strong for the third division of English football. But at the same time, Rotherham cannot gain a foothold in the Championship, and a 2-year stay there is already an achievement. It is unlikely that the team will remain in the elite in the current season. Having taken 2nd place in Ligue 1 in 2020, the club has once again tried to gain a foothold in a stronger league. But it was among the outsiders during the entire championship. However, Rotherham doesn't look completely hopeless this time. Paul Warne's men were able to withstand a 0-0 draw with Huddersfield and beat QPR in April. But then there was another streak of defeats, which left the team in the relegation zone. A 0-1 defeat to Barnsley was the fourth in a row. The gap to Derby County has already reached four points.
For Brentford, head-to-head matches against Rotherham have been going well lately. A 0-2 victory in December was the 4th win in a row. And the Bees always won with a difference of at least two goals. Brentford no longer really needs victories, as a direct ticket to the Premier League has already slipped out of their hands again. But Rotherham is too weak, so we bet on the home team to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Brentford to win with -1.0 handicap
