Rotherham Utd v Bolton Wanderers
Football : England: League One
Venue: New York Stadium
Saturday 14th March 2026, 1230hrs (GMT)

---

Rotherham United were dealt a narrow but nevertheless damaging 1-0 loss in last weekend’s Yorkshire derby at the hands of Huddersfield Town in League One but the upcoming hosts will now return to the home surroundings of their New York Stadium for this encounter with high-flying Bolton Wanderers in a lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.

Rotherham had previously picked up a useful four points from their preceding two league matches courtesy of a 1-0 home win against Plymouth Argyle followed by a 0-0 draw at home with Mansfield Town and this will give Matthew Hamshaw’s side a bit of hope for this weekend’s clash.

Despite possessing an inconsistent looking home record which currently stands at 6-6-6 20/24, this does give The Millers a chance of picking up at least a point here at the New York Stadium.

Bolton Wanderers continued their impressive and solid looking unbeaten run in the domestic third tier last weekend with a 3-2 home win against a spirited Wycombe Wanderers outfit, making it 11 games without defeat heading into this weekend’s action.

Seven wins within these previous 11 games gives Bolton Wanderers a massive boost as they look to reduce the eight-point deficit on 2nd placed Cardiff City but only three of these eight recent wins have been collected away from home.

Indeed, Bolton Wanderers’ overall record on their travels this season stands at a modest looking 5-8-5 19/21 so this upcoming trip to the New York Stadium to face a Rotherham side battling for League One survival may cause a few problems for Steven Schumacher’s side.

The Betting Verdict

Rotherham United are unbeaten in their last six home meetings against Bolton Wanderers, picking up five wins in the process.

Rotherham Utd 2-1 Bolton Wanderers
