Rotherham United vs York City is a League Two clash at the New York Stadium on Saturday at 3pm, with the hosts looking to recover from a narrow opening-day defeat.
Rotherham dropped down from League One and lost their opener, while York began with a win, setting up an intriguing clash. Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.
Premium Tips
Andy expects a close game and leans towards the hosts making home advantage count.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Rotherham United to win and under 2.5 goals | 9/2 | Rotherham dominated for large spells in their 2-1 opening defeat at Cheltenham, missing good chances through Fabio Tavares and Denzel Hall before leaking two soft goals either side of half-time. That attacking threat, allied to arguably the strongest squad in the division and home advantage at the New York Stadium, should be enough to see off a York side who conceded twice themselves in their opener at Bristol Rovers and will need to defend far more securely on the road. Rotherham are also likely to be more measured after that Cheltenham lesson, making a controlled, lower-scoring home win the shape we expect. |
| Paul Mullin to score anytime and Ollie Pearce over 0.5 shots on target | 13/5 | Mullin arrived at Rotherham this summer as a marquee free-transfer signing with 93 League Two goals to his name, and though he didn’t get on the scoresheet at Cheltenham, he was at the heart of everything good the Millers created and struck a free-kick narrowly over. A player of his pedigree, leading the line at home for the first time, is overdue his first goal in Rotherham colours. Pearce, meanwhile, showed exactly why York rate him so highly in their opening-day win, forcing a good save with a curling effort and firing another just over from a corner. With chances already flowing his way, backing him for another shot on target looks a solid line here. |

How Rotherham United go into the game
Rotherham’s first game back in League Two ended in a 2-1 defeat at Cheltenham, a wake-up call for a side expected to challenge at the top. The New York Stadium should see a determined response.
With arguably the strongest squad in the division, Rotherham have the quality to climb the table quickly. A first win of the season is close to essential here.
How York City go into the game
York opened with a thrilling 3-2 home win over Bristol Rovers, an eye-catching result against one of the promotion favourites. Confidence will be high after such a statement.
The trip to Rotherham is a step up in class, however. York will need to defend more securely than they did in that entertaining opener to take something home.
