We say: Rotherham United 2-2 Peterborough United

With 19 goals scored in Peterborough's last four away games - averaging 4.75 in recent matches against Reading (3-1 defeat), Crawley Town (4-3 win), Barnsley (1-1 draw) and Mansfield (4-2 defeat) - and Rotherham's recent home games witnessing 18 goals (mean of 4.5) from losses to Wycombe Wanderers (3-2) and Crawley (4-0), a win over Blackpool (2-1) and a 3-3 draw with Mansfield, another goal-heavy encounter could unfold this weekend. Given the hosts' inability to achieve a consistent run of positive results in front of their supporters and the same for Peterborough on their travels, Saturday's match could end in a score draw.
