Rotherham United vs Brentford Head-to-Head

In 17 head-to-head encounters between the two sides, the record is fairly even. Rotherham United have won six games, lost seven and drawn four.

The two clubs last faced each other in 2019, with Brentford beating Rotherham United 4-2. A brace from South Africa international Kamohelo Mokotjo and goals from Algerian winger Said Benrahma and striker Neal Maupay ensured victory for Brentford.

All three players have since left the club, with Mokotjo now playing for FC Cincinnati, and Benrahma and Maupay in the Premier League with West Ham United and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively.

An own goal from Ezri Konsa and a goal from winger Jon Taylor were mere consolation for Rotherham United.

Rotherham United vs Brentford Prediction

Rotherham United sit 19th in the league table, and have suffered from inconsistency. They have won one game from their last five, and Paul Warne's side will have to find form soon in order to ensure that they are not dragged into a relegation battle.

Brentford, on the other hand, endured a slow start to their league campaign, but have started finding their form. Striker Ivan Toney has been an astute signing, while players like Vitaly Janelt and Bryan Mbeumo have impressed.

Brentford are yet to be at their best, but should be able to emerge victorious over Rotherham United this week

Prediction: Rotherham United 0-2 Brentford
