Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Aesseal New York Stadium will host Thursday’s football game between Rotherham United and Wigan Athletic, the two sides who are almost level on points in the League One standings. The Millers aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Mansfield and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Wigan. You should know that Rotherham are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in front of home fans. Joe Rafferty limped off with injury in the last league match, with Jamie McCart likely to step up.
The Latics, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Leyton, beating Bolton, while sharing the spoils with Shrewsbury. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Rotherham, who have turned their stadium into a real fortress. There are no new injury worries in the visiting team.
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.
