Rotherham 7/4 Brentford 31/20 Draw 23/10
Back-to-back wins have catapulted The Bees into the play-off places, and Dean Smith’s men will confident of completing the hat-trick at relegation favourites Rotherham United on Saturday.
We’re a best-priced 12/1 on Dean Smith’s men reaching the Premier League, and although fans would be foolish to get carried away at this early stage, those odds are bound to be shaved if another three points are secured up north.
Rotherham, 13/10 for the drop, have had a miserable week, going down 3-0 at both Villa and Brighton, and have just a single point from their three league matches so far, shipping eight goals in the process. Add in their 5-4 cup defeat to Morecombe, and it’s clear Alan Stubbs’ men are vulnerable at the back.
Scott Hogan, back in the goals after his winner against Forest, is an obvious choice to get on the scoresheet again and is 24/5 to bag first and 37/20 any time.
Last year Bees went down 2-1 at the New York Stadium after getting involved in what Dean Smith described as a ‘tear up’, but manager Alan Stubbs’ new, more cerebral style of play should ensure such a scenario is avoided this time, and the 31/20 about the away win looks cracking value.
Brentford have won four of their last six on the road but have had trouble keeping clean sheets, so the 39/10 on both teams netting in an away win looks like a very solid selection.
