Rotherham vs Plymouth Prediction and Betting Tips 28 February 2026

Rotherham United face another challenging test as they look to respond after a narrow 1–0 defeat to Bradford City. Given their poor form in League One, we predict a 3-2 win over Plymouth. Injuries continue to pile up for the Millers, with Douglas, Gore, Kaleta, Kayode and Powell all sidelined, leaving their squad stretched. Rotherham’s recent form reflects those issues: they’ve lost four of their last five, average just 1.00 goal per game, and fail to score in 50% of their matches. Their xG of 1.17 suggests limited attacking output, while they concede 1.70 goals per match overall.

In contrast, Plymouth Argyle arrive in excellent offensive rhythm after hammering Cardiff City 5–2, and with no expected changes to their starting XI. Plymouth boast a strong away record, winning two of their last three on the road and scoring an impressive 2.33 goals per away match. Their overall xG sits at 1.86, highlighting consistent chance creation, while the Pilgrims fail to score in none of their recent outings.

Considering Plymouth's better form, full squad, and superior expected goals, Away Win should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Over 1.5 goals first half as both sides average high goal totals.

This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 28 February 2026 at 15:00.
