Rotherham vs Gillingham Predictions

• Rotherham are unbeaten in 18 matches in all competitions, a run stretching back to early September.
• Gillingham are winless in six League One games, losing the last three without scoring.
• Rotherham have the best defensive record in the division, conceding just 13 goals, while Gillingham have the second-worst attacking record, scoring 16 in 20.

In-Form Rotherham to Continue Streak

Rotherham United are unbeaten in 18 competitive games, and top League One on goal difference as they target an immediate return to the second tier. Since a 4-2 loss to Fleetwood in early September, the Millers have only conceded six goals in 13 league outings, and should impress again when they face impotent Gillingham.

Steve Evans’ Gills side have not won in six league games, losing the last three without scoring to drop into the relegation zone. They’ve failed to score in four of their last five, being shut out by the likes of Cheltenham, Accrington Stanley, and even bottom side Crewe.

Gillingham’s record of 16 goals this season is worse than everyone bar Doncaster, and while they have allowed opponents more shots on goal than every side outside of Crewe, Rotherham have limited their opponents to fewer attempts than any other League One team.

Millers to Remain Untroubled

Rotherham, then, should have little problem extending their unbeaten run, and remaining in the thick of the League One title race. With such impotent opposition coming to town, I expect the Millers to record a third consecutive clean sheet, having already kept 10 in 19 League outings.

Gillingham have only won one away game in League One this term, a record I expect to continue in midweek. 2-0 to the table-topping hosts seems a strong correct score prediction for what should be a comfortable evening.
