Rotherham vs Lincoln tips and predictions

Rotherham look tough to oppose

It's third placed Rotherham welcoming 18th placed Lincoln in this League One clash as the home team looks to add digits to the 22-point gap between the sides.

Even though Rotherham are a short price it could be worth another look if you think this match is a done deal. The headline of this preview is clearly with the home win but don't count on it. They are still the pick to get a result.

The balance of power is certainly with Rotherham. A look at their win rates provides some evidence. The hosts have reached 11 home wins from their last 13 games. Their opponents have got less change from their recent showings; the travelling side has been patchy. They've lost 6 of their last 10 matches. It looks like another loss for them here.

This home squad is enjoying some form on their own soil. The Millers scored three or more goals in 9 of their recent 13 home matches and that mentality has been consolidated at the back where they have conceded no more than once in 19 of their last 20 games.

They already know what it's like to face each other. Rotherham have won 6 of the last 9 fixtures between the two teams. They may not be that relevant but the head-to-head stats point to another home win.

Rotherham are the clear favourites but things could get exciting if Lincoln can put up a fight. To that end the BTTS Yes bet seems like a decent side bet.
