On January 1, 2023, Championship confrontation between Millwall and Rotherham United saw the home team emerge victoriously with a decisive 3-0 score. Despite Rotherham United's determined effort, the match statistics clearly show that Millwall outperformed in key areas that led to their win.

The offensive efficiency of Millwall was emphasized by their impressive tally of five shots on target, out of which three resulted in goals, granting them 60% goal scoring efficiency from their shots on target. Millwall had a total of eleven shots towards the Rotherham United goal indicating a more dominant attacking presence compared to their competitors who could only manage a total of six shots, with a mere one-third being on target and failing to convert any into goals.

Defensively, it was a game of few errors for both teams as the goalkeepers made two saves each. The absence of any yellow or red cards in the game indicated a disciplined outing, even amid Millwall's fifteen fouls and Rotherham's twelve.

Millwall took more risks, demonstrated by their four corner kicks, compared to Rotherham’s three. This was also evident from their two offside infractions, showing their persistent attacks. Rotherham's three offside calls, however, did not translate into significant threat on Millwall's goal, reinforcing the dominance of Millwall's defence.

Substitution strategy also indicates Millwall's advantageous position in the game. They made full use of their substitutions, making three changes as opposed to Rotherham’s two. This allowed them to maintain their performance throughout the match.

In conclusion, the victory of Millwall can be attributed to their superior offensive efficiency, their disciplined and dominant defensive performance as well as tactical utilization of substitution. Despite Rotherham's valiant attempts, their lack of precision in the final third and failure to convert opportunities into goals resulted in their defeat. Football bettors should take into consideration these strategic and performance factors when forecasting future matches involving these teams.
