Prediction: 2-1
Bristol Rovers
Following a 2-1 win over Crewe in the EFL Cup, Rotherham United will look to record their first league win of the season when they face Bristol Rovers on Saturday afternoon. The Millers are a team with two faces as they generally produce fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Defender Hakeem Odoffin is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the EFL Cup win over the Railwaymen. Sam Nombe is widely expected to start as well.
The Pirates, on the other hand, kicked off the new League One campaign with a 1-0 win over Northampton Town, while losing to Cardiff City in the EFL Cup round 1. Rotherham United, though, do not suit Bristol Rovers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. It has to be noted that the Pirates were beaten by the Millers in each of the previous two meetings between the two sides at Aesseal New York Stadium.
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.
