Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Rotherham United welcome Burton Albion to their AESSEAL New York Stadium in what promises to be a challenging fixture for the visitors. Rotherham have been a real force on home soil, with their strong defensive displays and potent attack making them tough to break down. With no fresh injury concerns for Matt Taylor’s side, the hosts will look to continue their solid form and claim another victory in front of their home fans.
Burton Albion, meanwhile, have struggled to find the back of the net in recent weeks, and their difficulties up front were evident in the goalless draw with Northampton before the international break. The absence of key player Billy Bodin, who is a major doubt after limping off in that match, will only add to the Brewers’ attacking problems. Given Rotherham’s strength at home and Burton’s struggles in front of goal, the Millers will likely dominate this encounter. As Burton’s chances of securing a result look slim, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday's encounter.

The club was founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham County and Rotherham Town. The colour of Rotherham’s home kit was originally yellow and black, but nowadays they were red and white jerseys. The Millers made it to the FA Cup fifth round on two occasions (1952/1953, 1967/1968) and they have yet to play in the Premier League.
Rotherham United have won the Football League One twice (1950/1951, 1980/1981), but the club’s biggest success is participation in the 1960/1961 League Cup final. Sheffield United are regarded as Rotherham United’s fiercest rivals, but the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster could be considered Rotherham’s big rivals as well.
