Rotherham vs Morecambe – Rotherham United will face Morecambe on Tuesday in an attempt to advance to the third round of the EFL Cup while remaining unbeaten in 15 straight games across all competitions.
The Lancashire team will enter the game hoping to upset the hosts after losing both home and away games when the teams faced off in League One the previous season.
When the two teams met on Saturday, Rotherham United held on to secure a 1-1 draw away to Queens Park Rangers, continuing their strong start to life back in the Championship.
At Loftus Road Stadium, despite being on the back foot, Chiedozie Ogbene scored against the flow of play to give the visitors a 33rd-minute lead before Christopher Willock equalized things just before halftime.
The Millers, one of just four teams yet to lose in the Championship this season after picking up one win and three draws from their first four games, finished second in League One last season to secure promotion.
The team of Paul Warne is currently focusing on the EFL Cup after a grueling 2-1 victory over League One team Port Vale on August 10 thanks to goals from Oliver Rathbone and Ogbene.
Since their 2-0 loss to Burton Albion in April, Rotherham United has gone 15 games without a loss in all competitions, winning eight games and drawing seven others. Conversely,
Morecambe was beaten to a 1-1 draw by Oxford United on Saturday, denying them their first victory of the new League One season.
At the Kassam Stadium, Jensen Weir scored to break the tie after a dull first half, but Kyle Joseph, a former Swansea striker, equalized for the Yellows eight minutes later.
Rotherham vs Morecambe – Betting Analysis
After faltering in the latter stages of the 2021–22 season, Karl Robinson’s team has now gone five league games without a win, picking up three draws and losing twice.
Morecambe will enter the midweek match determined to establish their footing and surpass their 2021–22 cup run, where they suffered a second-round elimination against Preston
North End. Morecambe defeated Stoke City on penalties in their EFL Cup opener two Tuesdays ago. Joshua Kayode, a 21-year-old attacker who has been sidelined with a muscle ailment since June, is still unavailable to Rotherham United.
Ogbene, an Irish forward, will be one to watch out for after his goal against QPR the last time out gave him four goals in his first five outings.
Adams won’t be able to use Courtney Duffus’ services for Morecambe because he has been sidelined since February due to a chronic injury.
Seven minutes into Saturday’s match against Oxford United, Ashley Hunter was forced to leave the field with an injury that would finish the game. The 26-year-old midfielder is anticipated to miss Tuesday’s match.
With Liam Gibson and Weir at the center of the field in his place, French international Fane Ousmane will attempt to make his fourth start of the year.
