Rotherham – Gillingham

Rotherham host Gillingham in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the home side languishing in 16th place on six points after one win, three draws and two defeats, while Gillingham sit a modest five places above them with nine points from two victories, three stalemates and a single loss. The visitors boast a slightly better defensive record, having conceded six goals compared with Rotherham’s ten, yet the hosts have edged them out in attack, holding a 9‑8 goal advantage. Both teams have struggled for consistency, and the clash could prove decisive in the battle for survival, especially as Rotherham will be eager to close the three‑point gap and Gillingham look to extend their modest lead. Their recent head‑to‑head meetings have been evenly balanced, setting the stage for another close encounter.
