Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Mansfield
Match Time & Date:
27 September 2025

Prediction: 1-1
Rotherham
After failing to win the previous six games in all competitions, Mansfield Town will look to give fans some cheer when they face Rotherham United on Saturday afternoon. The Yellows have been struggling to find their best form in the early stages of the season, but this match could turn their fortunes around in the English third tier. Home win, though, should not be considered as important defender Ryan Sweeney misses out through suspension, while forward Joe Gardner is unlikely to feature against Rotherham after picking up a knock in a 2-1 loss at Port Vale.
The Millers, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to AFC Wimbledon and Stockport County. Rotherham aim to get back on course as soon as possible, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on draw this time out. All Hatton, Holmes, Nombe, Raggett, and Sherif are injured for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Mansfield):
Founded in 1897, Mansfield Town are a professional club that compete in the League 2, the English fourth tier. The Stags are well known for their yellow shirts and blue shorts, while the colour of their away kit is black. Field Mill is the club’s home ground, the stadium with the capacity of 9,186.
The venue was built back in 1861 and renovated in 1999. Chesterfield and Notts County are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals. Mansfield Town did well to win the Football League Trophy in 1986/1987 season, with the team beating Bristol City on penalties at Wembley Stadium.
The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in the regular time, with Kevin Kent and Glyn Riley scoring for Mansfield Town and Bristol City respectively. Goalkeeper Rod Arnold is the player with most appearances as he played 513 games for the Stags in all competitions.
