1st Prediction For Burton Albion vs Rotherham United: Rotherham United to win 89/100
Rotherham United come into Saturday’s clash as firm favourites given both their league position and form relative to Burton Albion. Steve Evans’ side are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions, winning three times and drawing twice whilst Burton have only picked up one win in their last five matches. The home side also sit 10 places below their opponents on Saturday in the league and the Brewers have picked up 16 points less than the Millers. Although Rotherham have only scored 28 goals so far, their underlying attacking numbers are very good. They have created the eighth-highest xG this season, but they have also missed the fifth most big chances. If they are able to keep the same attacking intensity which has seen them score seven times in their last three games, Steve Evans’ men should comfortably win on Saturday.
2nd Prediction For Burton Albion vs Rotherham United: Rotherham United to win and both teams to score: yes 61/20
People looking for a riskier, but more fruitful, prediction for Saturday’s clash should consider predicting Rotherham United to win and both teams to score. Burton may have only scored 23 goals in 26 league games this season and have the third-worst xG of any side in the third tier, but they have been in reasonable form in front of goal recently, scoring six times in their last five games in all competitions. In fact, since Gary Bowyer was appointed as manager in December, the Brewers have scored in five of their seven games. 24-year-old striker Rumarn Burrell has been a key part of Burton’s attack in recent weeks. The attacker has seemingly got to grips with English football after moving to Burton from Scottish side Cove Rangers in the summer and he has scored all three of his goals for the Brewers since the turn of the year. Although it will be tough to beat Rotherham on Saturday, Burton should be able to create a couple of good chances that their strikers could capitalise on.
3rd Prediction For Burton Albion vs Rotherham United: Mallik Wilks to score at any time 51/20
Rotherham United’s in-form attacker over the last couple of weeks has undoubtedly been Mallik Wilks. The 26-year-old, who is on loan from Sheffield Wednesday, has scored twice and got one assist in his last two games and his attacking metrics for the season as a whole are impressive. Wilks has taken more shots per 90 than 96% of League One players and he has more xG per 90 than 85% of players in the third tier. As he is consistently getting into good positions and shooting often, predicting Wilks should be seriously considered for those looking to single out an individual player. Additionally, Wilks has got a track-record of being a prolific goalscorer in League One. He scored 14 times in 48 appearances for Doncaster Rovers as a 20-year-old and scored 19 league goals in 44 games for Hull City two years later.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Steve Evans and his Rotherham United team will be full of confidence going into Saturday’s match. The Millers are unbeaten in six games in all competitions and they are beginning to find a good balance between defensive solidity and attacking flair. They are one of the most in-form sides in the third tier, but Rotherham will not be happy with sitting in 13th place. They will hope that this good run of form can continue for the next few months so that they can end the seasons in the playoff positions, which they are only six points off at the moment. Gary Bowyer will be fairly happy with the progress his team have made since he took over at Burton Albion. The Brewers picked up their first win under Bowyer against Wigan Athletic on Tuesday night, but they still sit second from bottom and eight points off safety. Burton will also be at a disadvantage in terms of fitness as Rotherham did not have a fixture in midweek which has given Steve Evans a full week to work on preparation for the game, though Bowyer will likely value the momentum boost Tuesday’s win will give his team.
