Prediction: 2-1
Crewe
Saturday’s football game at Aesseal New York Stadium pits together Rotherham United and Crewe Alexandra. The Millers aim to build on a 2-0 win over Bolton, which saw them climb to the playoffs berth, and the bookies see them as favourites to beat Crewe. Benjamin Wiles is likely to keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace in the triumph over Bolton. You should bear in mind that Rotherham are eyeing their third home win of the season.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Morecambe. Considering that Crewe have collected only one point in total on the road from possible 12, we are tempted to put our money on the Millers this time out. In their last meeting at Aesseal New York Stadium Rotherham defeated Crewe 4-2.
