Cheltenham will be eager to make amends for their EFL Cup defeat to Charlton when they welcome Rotherham United to the Completely-Suzuki Stadium. The Robins have endured an inconsistent spell, winning three of their last 10 matches, while their defensive record is a concern, with 2.2 goals conceded per game. Their home fixtures have also been entertaining, averaging 3.17 goals, with BTTS landing in 83% of their last six. Shaun McWilliams, Joe Tomlinson, Pierce Sweeney, and Favour Onukwuli are among the summer arrivals as Cheltenham look to strengthen their squad.
Rotherham, meanwhile, will be desperate to recover from a heavy 4-1 EFL Cup defeat to West Bromwich Albion. The Millers have won just once in their last 10 matches and have scored only 0.7 goals per game during that period. Their away form has been particularly poor, with a 20% win rate and 0.8 goals scored per match, while they have conceded exactly two goals per game on the road. Summer signing Paul Mullin will be the man to watch in attack. Rotherham have won two of the three previous H2H meetings.
Rotherham's recent form and poor away scoring record make them difficult to back. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (the Robins' home matches average more than three goals).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 15:00.
