Competition: League One

Market: Rotherham United draw no bet

Odds: 4/5 @ 1xBet

Looking to find a route into the top-half of the League One standings, Rotherham will welcome Blackpool to the New York Stadium on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Rotherham might have been forced to settle for a single point in four of their previous five League One appearances, the Millers have gained a recent reputation for their rugged approach in Yorkshire. Extending on their EFL Trophy adventure last time out as they stormed their way to a stunning 7-2 romp away at Salford, Matt Hamshaw’s side will be desperate to use that season-best performance as a platform to build on going forward. Knowing that they can find a route into the top-half of the League One standings in midweek, the Reds have not suffered a single defeat within 90 minutes from any of their previous 13 consecutive appearances across all competitions. With that run stemming all the way back to the start of October, Rotherham should be smelling a real opportunity here. Securing a dominant 3-0 win against Lincoln last month, Wednesday’s hosts should also be excited by their extended success in Yorkshire. In fact, Hamshaw’s side have suffered just a single defeat at the New York Stadium so far this season.

As for the visitors, while some in Blackpool’s camp might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on mounting another genuine play-off charge, the Seasiders find themselves at the heart of a major League One nightmare. Despite extending on their FA Cup adventure last time out as they secured a 4-1 victory at home against National League outfit Carlisle, that is the only win that Ian Evatt’s side have secured from any of their last six appearances across all competitions. Scrapping it out at the foot of the table and opening Wednesday’s trip to Yorkshire sat in the relegation spots, the former Bolton boss has also seen his squad gain a reputation for their issues on the road. Last seen on their travels falling to an action-packed 4-2 defeat at the hands of Harrogate, Blackpool have secured just a single win away from Bloomfield Road so far this season. Once again pencilled in as a real underdog contender here, it should also be highlighted that the Seasiders have lost all of their previous four consecutive trips to Rotherham by an aggregate score of 8-2.

Bet: Rotherham United draw no bet against Blackpool 4/5 for Wednesday’s League One battle @ 1xBet
