Total goals markets are shaping around a 2.5-goal line with both teams to score slightly odds-on, reflecting Rotherham’s attacking threat and Stockport’s strong home scoring record.

Historically, meetings between Stockport County and Rotherham United have been relatively even, with Rotherham holding a narrow edge in wins across league and cup fixtures and most games featuring one or both teams scoring. Recent head-to-heads show tight scorelines and several matches decided by a single goal, indicating that this fixture is often competitive regardless of league position.
