Saturday 21st April 2018 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League One Betting Tips
Rotherham United will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in League One to four matches when they play host to Bristol Rovers at their AESSEAL New York Stadium, with the hosts looking in good shape to achieve a play-off spot.
Recent wins over Fleetwood Town and Gillingham have maintained Rotherham’s strong march towards a top six finish, and with a solid home record which stands at 13-3-5 42/23 and a second best attacking record on home turf, the Millers will be confident of taking the spoils here.
Six wins from their last eight on home turf have helped lift Rotherham into genuine promotion candidates, while forwards Ball (8 goals) and Smith (5 goals) will be looking to add to their goal tallies.
Onto Bristol Rovers and they’ve gained just one league win from their last seven matches overall, which was a 2-1 home win over Bury at their Memorial Stadium where they’ve been beaten on just six occasions throughout this campaign.
A fairly solid home record has been offset by a rather ordinary looking away record of 5-4-12 22/34 and The Pirates accordingly sit in a mid-table 12th place on the League One ladder, and they come into this clash having won just once in their last five on the road.
That win came in a 1-0 win at second from bottom club MK Dons, but defeats at AFC Wimbledon, Plymouth Argyle and Fleetwood Town prove that the west country outfit still have a lot of work to do on their travels if they’re to become a consistent top half performer in the division.
With just four clean sheets to their name, Bristol Rovers look set to struggle against an in-form Rotherham side here.
