Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Rotherham United play host to Stockport County at their Aesseal New York Stadium on day 23 of the new League One campaign. The Millers aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Mansfield Town and Wigan Athletic and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Hatters. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, midfielder Shaun McWilliams is in line for a recall to the starting XI.
Stockport County, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Huddersfield. As both Stockport and Rotherham will go for a win in Sunday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Jack Diamond and Kyle Wootton are pushing for recalls to the starting line-up, speaking of the visiting team. You should know that 20 goals in total have been netted in the previous five meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
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.
