Rotherham United - Lincoln City betting tip & best odds | 03.12.2024

Rotherham United will host Lincoln City in an intriguing League One clash on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at the New York Stadium. This encounter marks Matchday 18 of the season, with Rotherham currently sitting in 18th place with 17 points, while Lincoln City is positioned 7th with 26 points. Both teams are looking to improve their fortunes as they aim for a crucial three points in this tight league.

Our Betting Predictions for the Match

In this match, our first betting tip is a recommendation for a home win for Rotherham United. Despite their current struggles, Rotherham has shown flashes of potential, particularly at home where they have recorded three victories. The last time these two teams met, Rotherham secured a 2-1 victory, which can be a psychological advantage going into this match. Given that Lincoln City recently suffered a defeat at home, they may be vulnerable, making Rotherham a solid pick for this match.

For our second betting tip, we suggest betting on "Both teams to score: No." Both sides have struggled with consistency in their attacking plays. Rotherham has only scored 14 goals so far this season, while Lincoln has netted 23 but has also showcased some defensive frailties, highlighted by their recent matches where they conceded three goals against Wycombe. With both teams facing pressure to tighten up defensively, it's plausible that this match may end with at least one side failing to score.

Betting Odds Overview

Our experience with various betting platforms suggests that odds can fluctuate significantly as the match day approaches, especially with injuries or team news. Therefore, it's advisable to check multiple sources to find the most favorable betting odds for your chosen markets.

Current Form of Rotherham United

Rotherham United has had a turbulent season so far, collecting just 17 points from their 16 matches. Their record includes four wins, five draws, and seven defeats, with a goal tally of 14 scored and 19 conceded. Recently, under the management of Stephen J. Evans, Rotherham has managed to secure two wins in their last five matches, but they also suffered three losses, including a disappointing 0-1 defeat against Crawley Town in their latest outing. Playing at home, they have managed to secure three wins, two draws, and two losses, showcasing a somewhat resilient performance at the New York Stadium. However, they will need to improve their scoring consistency if they are to climb the table and secure their place in the league.

Insights on Lincoln City

Lincoln City, managed by Michael Skubala, is currently enjoying a much more successful campaign, sitting in 7th place with 26 points. Their season has been defined by seven wins, five draws, and four defeats, with an overall goal tally of 23 scored and 20 conceded. In their last five matches, Lincoln has recorded two wins, two draws, and one defeat, which includes a recent 2-3 loss to Wycombe Wanderers at home. Despite this setback, Lincoln's away record is commendable, with three wins, four draws, and just one loss. Their ability to score goals has been a strong point, but they need to address their defensive vulnerabilities, which have recently been exposed.

The Last Direct Duels

In the last five meetings between Rotherham United and Lincoln City, the head-to-head record shows a competitive edge. Rotherham has won twice, Lincoln has also won twice, and there has been one draw. Notably, Rotherham's recent home victory (2-1) over Lincoln provides a psychological edge as they prepare for this match. Historical results suggest that encounters between these two clubs often carry a high level of intensity and competitiveness, making it difficult to predict the outcome definitively.
