Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Rotherham
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 3-0
Accrington
After rolling over Doncaster 5-0 in their last league match, Rotherham United will look to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Accrington at Aesseal New York Stadium. The Millers are on the right track to secure automatic promotion, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Northern Ireland international Will Grigg should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to find the net in the last league fixture.
Accrington, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table ahead of Saturday’s clash. The Accy Stanley failed to win the previous five league fixtures, and given Rotherham’s attacking potential, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Colby Bishop, who has netted eight goals in the League One to date.
Highlighted Player (Will Grigg):
Wighan Athletic striker Will Grigg became a viral sensation during the European Championship in France but the chances are any avid football fan will have been well aware of his goalscoring exploits even before 2016. The 27-year-old forward began his career at Stratford Town but it was in Walsall that the world took notice of his presence after 27 goals in 99 performances for the club.
He first came to prominence during the 2012/13 season when he was voted the club’s Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season, but a loan spell at Milton Keynes Dons during his rather unfortunate two-year spell over at Brentford proved crucial for his career.
The total of 20 goals in 44 appearances at Stadium MK was where Wigan Athletic noticed the Northern Ireland man and moved in to sign him on a three year contract for a £1 million fee in 2015. ‘Will Grigg’s on Fire’ was the hit song of the Euro 2016 even though the Northern Ireland striker ended up not getting a chance to make a bow in the tournament.
Highlighted Team (Accrington):
Founded back in 1891 and reformed in 1968, Accrington Stanley are an English football club that compete in the League One. The original team competed in the Football League from 1921 to 1962, spending the last four seasons in Lancashire Combination.
The Accy are well known for their red home kit, whilst they wear sky blue shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. The League One side play their home games at Crown Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 5,450 spectators (3,100 seated). Accrington have been playing at Crown Ground since 1970.
Listed as the all-time favourite player amongst fans, Chris Grimshaw is one of the most famous Accrington Stanley footballers. However, George Stewart is the team’s top scorer, netting 136 goals in total from 1954 to 1958. It has to be noted that the Accy have yet to represent England in European competitions.
