Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Oxford United
Match Time & Date:
27/11/2021
16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Rotherham
All eyes will be on Kassam Stadium when Oxford United and Rotherham United face each other in the League One round 20. The Yellows proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Fleetwood, with the team recording their seventh home triumph of the process. Oxford United are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but the game against the league leaders will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
Gavin Whyte 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, did well to beat Ipswich Town 2-0 on Tuesday evening, with the team retaining top position in the standings. Since the league leaders have been scoring goals for fun of late, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Experienced attacker Kieran Sadlier is pushing for a start for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (James Henry):
James Henry was born in Reading on 10 June, 1989, but he grew up in Woodley. He began playing football at his home-town club Woodley Saints, but he made progress during his spell at Reading’s youth academy. Henry is a winger who is capable of playing as a centre midfielder as well, but he failed to score for Reading in 10 league appearances for the club.
After ending his loan spells with the likes of Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Norwich City and Millwall, he signed a permanent deal with the Lions on 28 July, 2010. Henry signed a three-year deal with Millwall and he made his home debut in a 4-0 win over Hull City.
It has to be noted that Henry played for both Scotland and England at youth level in the past, but he has yet to make his debut for the first team. Henry was born in England, but his parents are Scottish and, as a result, he is eligible to play for both England and Scotland.
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.
