Peterborough were relegated from the Championship in the 2021/22 season and reached the playoffs in the following two seasons. Unfortunately, "The Posh" failed to come out of the playoffs and return to the Championship. This season has been poor as Peterborough are 14th with 14 points in ten rounds, but still just two points away from the playoffs, although with a game played more. With a potential win over Rotherham, they would take a big step in moving closer to the playoff spots.
Rotherham are one of the teams that constantly moved between Championship and League One in the previous decade. Last year, they were relegated once again while winning an atrocious 27 points in 46 rounds. This year, "The Millers" continued with poor results and spent most of their time in the danger zone. Still, with back-to-back wins in League One, they are now in 17th place - six points away from relegation and three away from the playoffs, but with a game played more. So, there are definitely reasons to be optimistic about for the upcoming games.
Peterborough vs Rotherham pick: Over 2.5 goals
Peterborough are in solid form, winning two in a row against Stevenage in League One and EFL Trophy while scoring five goals. More importantly for our bet, the Posh were over 2.5 goals in the last five League One games. They were over 2.5 goals in 70% of their league games (seven out of ten) and are the second-best team in the league for this type of bet.
Rotherham won three in a row in all competitions and have scored six goals during that period - two per game. So, it is fair to expect they can score against Peterborough as well.
In the previous four h2h games, we saw three or more goals on three occasions. Considering both teams' good form, previous h2h games, and the fact that Peterborough constantly plays high-scoring games, we believe that an over 2.5 goals is the safest bet for this League One tie.

Peterborough team news
Archie Collins received his fifth yellow card in the previous match and will serve his one-game suspension against Rotherham. Collins is the team's starting midfielder who started in 100% League One games. Considering that another important midfielder (Mahamadou Susoho) is injured, his absence is a massive factor for this match.
Besides them, left full-back Rio Adebisi will also remain sidelined with his injury.

Rotherham team news
In the previous league game against Reading, Rotherham supporters started booing the team because they were trailing 1:0. The coach Steve Evans said that the players complained about that at the half, but he reassured them that the boos weren't based on the first-half performance because they played well. "That's two years of frustration, so don't take that personally," the coach said to the players.
