Rotherham vs MK Dons Predictions

• Rotherham have won 12 of their 17 home league games this season
• Rotherham have kept eight clean sheets in their last nine matches
• Rotherham won the reverse fixture 3-0 at Stadium MK in October

Rotherham should have too much for MK Dons

Every which way you break down Rotherham’s season to date, the numbers make for impressive reading. Rotherham have lost just two of their 17 home games so far this season, they have kept eight clean sheets in their last nine matches and look set for an instant return to the Championship. Paul Warne’s side have been far and away the best team in League One this season and a return to the Championship at the first time of asking would be thoroughly deserved. A win over third place MK Dons on Saturday would extend the gap to 13 points and would almost certainly seal automatic promotion with just ten games left.

MK Dons have struggled against top six sides

Rotherham ran out comfortable 3-0 winners where these two sides met at Stadium MK in October, and it is hard to make a case for Saturday’s fixture going any other way. MK Dons, despite putting together a fine season to date, have struggled against sides that currently occupy top six spots. MK Dons have already lost four times to teams that currently sit in League One’s play-off places, they’ve lost to Oxford, Rotherham, Sheffield Wednesday, and Sunderland already this season and are expected to come up short once again on Saturday.

The main selection for this game is simple, a home win. I can’t see this going any other way than it did in the reverse fixture. MK Dons have some good players but will have a hard time causing this Rotherham team many problems. In the correct market I suggest a 2-0 Rotherham win.
