Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Accrington
Match Time & Date:
26/12/2021
16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Rotherham
Accrington and Rotherham face each other at Crown Ground on Matchday 24. Accrington quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to AFC Wimbledon, with the team beating Bolton thanks to Tommy Leigh’s goal. The Accy Stanley aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, but they will have a big fish to fry in the Boxing Day clash. Colby Bishop should continue to lead the line for the hosts despite failing to find the net in the last league match.
The Millers, on the other hand, aim to retain top position in the League One standings. Rotherham are on a three-game winning run in the English third tier, but given Accrington’s fine form in December, we are tempted to put our money on draw. The Millers boss Paul Warne should stick to the 3-5-2 formation, with Ladabo and Smith up front.

Born in Bamenda, Cameroon on March 5, 1993, Stephen Sama is a towering defender who plays for Accrington Stanley in the League One. After moving to Germany, Sama received German citizenship in 2009, and, as a result, he represented the European country at youth level.

Highlighted Team (Rotherham):
Rotherham United are an English club that compete in the Championship. Rotherham United are located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and they play their home games at New York Stadium and the capacity of the venue is 12,021.
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.
