First Goalscorer	Will Grigg	4/1

Both teams are desperate for all three points here with Gillingham currently fourth bottom and needing at least a point to secure safety. Rotherham sit second but with MK Dons just one point behind they need all three to be certain of promotion.

Gillingham are without a win in their last five but three draws means they have given themselves a chance of safety. They are level on points with Fleetwood (who have a much superior goal-difference) and two behind Morecambe.

Rotherham know that all three points here would secure Championship football for them next season. A draw or defeat would open the door for MK Dons who have an away fixture at Plymouth.

Neil Harris is the man in the dugout for the Gills and he has done a good job and will need ten-goal man Vadaine Oliver to be at his best. Paul Warne continues to do an under the radar great job at the Millers with 19 goals from Michael Smith leading the way.

The biggest problem for the hosts this season has been their lack of goals with a league low of just 35. The key to the visitors success has been the visitors defence which has conceded just 33 goals a league best by some ten goals.

Gillingham vs Rotherham: Match Stats

Both teams know that one point might be enough for them depending on results elsewhere so expect a cautious start. If Fleetwood and MK Dons get to half-time ahead then one or both sides need to start chasing so backing the second 45 minutes to be the highest scoring appeals.

Michael Ihiekwe grabbed a goal at both ends in midweek against Sunderland and has two in his last seven at the right end. The Rotherham defender is as short as 13/2 in some places to score at any time so double figure quotes suggest good value.
