Premium Tips

Andy leans towards Chesterfield, who look the more solid side after the opening weekend.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Draw and under 2.5 goals7/2These look well-matched sides settling into the new season, and the early signs point to a cagey, low-margin contest. Chesterfield have opened tightly, scoring and conceding just once across their first two games, while Rotherham are adjusting after dropping down a level and managed only a modest attacking return higher up last season. With neither side flying out of the blocks and both defences capable of keeping things compact, a low-scoring game is on the cards. The stalemate is the boldest part of the call, but an even match-up between two closely-rated teams gives the draw genuine appeal.
Lee Bonis over 1.5 shots on target, Paul Mullin and Dilan Markanday over 0.5 shots on target9/1Bonis is Chesterfield’s spearhead and a real goal threat, with 13 last season and a heavy volume of attempts, already firing in nine shots across his opening two games, which gives the 1.5 on target line a live chance. Mullin has hit the target in both of his first two outings for Rotherham, so over 0.5 suits his current output as the focal point up top. Markanday adds another busy attacker, racking up 66 shots last season and regularly working the keeper from his role behind the striker. With all three heavily involved, each has a platform to test the goalkeeper.

How Rotherham go into the game

Rotherham drew 1-1 with York last time out, a modest start for a side with promotion hopes. The New York Stadium will demand a response.

The Millers carry a threat but need to be more clinical. Home form is central to their ambitions.

How Chesterfield go into the game

Chesterfield won 1-0 at Salford last time out, a disciplined away display. Confidence will be high.

The Spireites are well-drilled and hard to beat, and they will fancy their chances of another away win.
