1st Prediction For Rotherham United vs Charlton Athletic: Rotherham United to win 13/10
Both teams come into Saturday’s game in relatively good form, but Steve Evans’ Rotherham side should have the edge over Nathan Jones’ team due to home advantage. The Millers have picked up 21 of their 31 points this season at the AESSEAL New York Stadium and they have also scored 17 of their 24 league goals at home, thus giving them the ninth best home record in the third tier. Additionally, Steve Evans’ side definitely have untapped potential in front of goal as Rotherham have created 32.3 xG this season. This is almost 3 xG more than Wrexham, who currently sit in third place, yet the Millers have scored 14 less goals than their Welsh counterparts. An xG underperformance of 8.3 represents by far the largest negative discrepancy in League One but this bad run in front of goal will surely turn around soon, especially if frontman Jonson Clarke-Harris can return to his best soon
2nd Prediction For Rotherham United vs Charlton Athletic: Charlton Athletic to score: no 41/25
Whilst Rotherham have not been particularly good in front of goal this season, their defensive efforts of late have been outstanding. The Millers have conceded just twice in their last five games in all competitions and one of those goals was an 86th-minute consolation goal scored by Bolton whilst the Millers were three-nil up. Hakeem Odoffin has been key to this success. The 26-year-old has started 22 of the Millers’ 24 league games and he has won over 100 aerial duels and over 200 duels in total, putting him above the 90th percentile in both metrics. In recent weeks, the defence has become very settled with Zak Jules, Joe Rafferty and Reece James all regularly starting alongside Odoffin and this consistency is what has allowed the Rotherham defence to be so tight. Furthermore, although Charlton have been in good attacking form recently, they have only created 41 big chances this season, which is just the 16th best in League One, and they have only had the 15th most touches in the opposition box of any third tier team.
3rd Prediction For Rotherham United vs Charlton Athletic: Miles Leaburn to score at any time 13/4
Fans who want a prediction more favourable to the away side should consider predicting Miles Leaburn to score at any time. The 21-year-old Charlton academy product is already enjoying the most prolific season of his senior career to date as he has scored eight goals in 19 matches in all competitions. Leaburn was also in particularly good form over the Christmas period as he got six goals and assists in the three games around Boxing Day. The Englishman is not only good in the air, he has won over 9 aerial duels per 90, but he is also not afraid to shoot as he takes almost three shots per game on average. As well as this, Charlton as a team have been at their best offensively in their last five games as they have scored 10 goals. Leaburn will be eager to keep both his and his teams’ good attacking form going on Saturday afternoon.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Saturday’s clash sees two in-form sides face off against each other. Rotherham United are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions and currently sit in 13th place in League One. Their visitors on Saturday, Charlton Athletic, are unbeaten in their last five league games, despite losing recently against Championship side Preston North End in the FA Cup, which puts them in fourth place on the form guide and leaves them in 11th spot overall, just three points above Rotherham. Both Steve Evans and Nathan Jones will be looking for their teams to continue their recent good runs in order to push up towards the playoff spots, which is where both managers likely would have wanted to be at the start of the season.
The game between the two teams finished in a one-one draw earlier in the season and Evans will not be happy to find out that Rotherham have not beaten Charlton in any of the nine games played between the teams since 2014.
