Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We don't think there's a clear favourite to claim victory here, but what is clear is that the odds suggest it'll have a maximum of 3 goals. Our statistical analysis says the same. Stockport and Rotherham have served up plenty of under 3.5 goal games recently, and key performance stats point towards an extension of that record. We feel confident predicting under 3.5 goals on Saturday afternoon, and the bookies have it priced at 1.30.

Goal Statistics

Stockport County's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Rotherham United have conceded in each of their last 8 League One games. A PG of 1.5 for D. Challinor's side suggests that run should continue.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Rotherham United fans, as should a 9 League One matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
