Rotherham United vs Newcastle United U21 Match Analysis & Prediction
08/10/2024 9:00 pm
Rotherham United will be looking to secure a third successive win across all competitions when they host Newcastle United U21 in Tuesday night’s EFL Trophy match.
Rotherham United will head into the midweek contest in a positive mood after bouncing back from a four-game winless run to secure maximum points in their last two league matches.
Sam Nombe scored a stoppage-time winner to snatch all three points against Cambridge United, before he found the net again in Saturday’s narrow 2-1 victory over Reading.
Steve Evans’ side will now turn their attention to EFL Trophy action, with the Millers looking to build up on the 2-0 victory that they secured in their opening group match against Mansfield Town.
After lifting the silverware in their most recent EFL Trophy campaign in 2021-22, Rotherham are unbeaten in their last nine matches in the competition since losing to Leeds United in November 2019.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United U21 are competing in the EFL Trophy for an eighth successive season, with the Magpies looking to progress from the group stage for just the second time.
Their previous knockout-round appearance took place in 2018-19 when they won three successive matches to finish top of their group.
Newcastle already have two points to their name after Josh Donaldson scored a 92nd-minute equaliser to secure a draw with Bradford, before the Magpies went on to win the subsequent penalty shootout to pick up a bonus point.
