Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We're ruling out a bore-draw or a sneaky 1-0 win here, and instead we're predicting over 1.5 goals. That means that Rotherham and Chesterfield will score a minimum of 2 between them during 90 minutes. This is based on each side's recent form stats, as well as past records of their head-to-head clashes. We give it a probability of 75%. Bookies have it priced at 1.29.

Goal Statistics

Chesterfield's defensive record is very strong, P. Cook's men having conceded 1 or less in 12 consecutive League Two games. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Rotherham United makes sense in this context.

Chesterfield's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Rotherham United have conceded in each of their last 5 League Two outings. A PG of 1.5 for P. Cook's side suggests that run should continue.
