Rotherham United
- Rotherham are unbeaten in four home League Two 2026/2027 matches (W1, D3).
- Rotherham have scored seven goals in their four home League Two 2026/2027 games.
- Alex Bruce has been in charge since 1 July 2026 and is slowly moulding the team into his way of playing, but it has not always worked in League Two 2026/2027.
- Rotherham sit 17th in the table after taking ten points from their first nine games, which needs to improve if they are to climb the table.
Gillingham
- Gillingham have conceded just five goals in four away League Two 2026/2027 fixtures.
- Gillingham sit 10th in the same table with 13 points from their opening nine matches, keeping them just about in the hunt for the top half of the league.
- Gareth Ainsworth has been in charge of the Gills since 25 March 2025 and has them looking well organised and tough to break down.
- They play a more compact version of the 4-2-3-1 formation and like to use direct balls to keep games tight and physical.
Key Players
- Paul Mullin, with four goals in eight League Two 2026/2027 appearances, is The Millers' most lethal forward and if he gets enough service, Rotherham can turn the screw.
- James Brophy has been their most prolific forward with three in eight, but their most useful weapon in recent weeks has been Sheldon Kendall, who has chipped in with two goals in their last five matches in which the Gills have scored six.
Betting Insights
- Gillingham are a solid side at 4.2, but the draw looks good enough at 3.5.
- Backing under 2.5 goals at 1.83 also looks a play here because it fits the script of a cagey League Two contest.
- Rotherham's recent home results have been cagey with no wins, two draws and no defeats from their last two while Gillingham have a decent away record of one win, two draws and a defeat from four away matches.
Prediction
- This looks like being a scrappy game, but our belief is that Rotherham's home advantage gives them the edge.
- Gillingham have two wins, a draw and two defeats in their most recent five and come into this off the back of a 3-0 away defeat to York City followed by a 0-0 home draw against Newport County in League Two 2026/2027.
