Rotherham – Oldham

Match analysis

Rotherham host Oldham in what promises to be a tightly contested league fixture, with both sides hovering near the bottom of the table. The Millers sit 16th with six points from six games — a solitary win, three draws and two defeats, and a goal difference of minus one after conceding ten and scoring nine. Oldham, two places above, have seven points, having won twice, drawn once and lost three, and sit on a slender +1 margin, having netted eight while letting in seven. With the gap between them only a single point, the encounter could prove decisive in the battle to climb out of the relegation zone, especially given the narrow goal‑difference advantage Oldham currently enjoys. Both clubs will be eager to turn their modest form around and secure three points to distance themselves from the danger zone.
