After suffering a 2-1 defeat to Cheltenham in their season opener, Rotherham United will look to get back on course when they face York City on Saturday afternoon. The Millers had plenty of attacking intent in their opener, registering 19 goal attempts and 2.03 xG, but ultimately came away empty-handed. They are generally a real force at home, although their recent numbers are less convincing, with no wins in their last five home matches. There are no fresh injury worries for the hosts.
York City, meanwhile, made an excellent start to their League Two campaign, defeating Bristol Rovers 3-2 in a thrilling encounter. The newcomers have won six of their last 10 matches and have failed to score in only one game during that period. Their attacking numbers are particularly impressive, averaging 2.00 xG per game across their last 10 fixtures. Alex Newby is widely expected to sneak into the starting XI after making an immediate impact from the bench against Bristol Rovers.
Rotherham's matches average 2.70 goals recently, while York's average stands at 2.80. Therefore, Over 1.5 goals seems like a sure betting option, alongside Over 8.5 corners and Over 0.5 goals first half.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
