Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following a goalless draw with Charlton, Mansfield will be aiming to return to winning ways in the League One when they face Rotherham on Saturday afternoon. The Yellows want to revive their playoffs hopes and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented strategy against Rotherham. Both Ben Quinn and Lee Gregory remain on the sidelines with injuries for the home side.
The Millers, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, beating both Lincoln and Northampton Town in the previous two league matches. Rotherham aim to keep on climbing the League One standings, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Mansfield are going to pick up all three points from the match. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Jonson Clarke-Harris, who scored a brace in the 3-0 win over Northampton at the weekend.
