A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League One
Venue: AESSEAL New York Stadium
Friday 18th April 2025, 1500hrs
Rotherham United’s recent winning streak in League One was brought to an end by play-off candidates away from home at Stockport County as The Millers stumbled to a 3-1 defeat at Edgeley Park, but the Yorkshire club now return to their AESSEAL New York Stadium for this upcoming encounter against League One strugglers, Mansfield Town, on Good Friday.
Rotherham United had previously strung together an impressive three-match winning streak with victories gained over Northampton Town, Blackpool and Bolton Wanderers respectively, which in turn have helped The Millers move themselves up and away from relegation danger and into a more respectable looking 13th place in the table.
Recent results on home soil though have been disappointing as Rotherham have managed to pick up just two wins from their last seven home games but The Millers have an ideal opportunity to return to winning ways here.
Mansfield Town are seemingly experiencing free-fall in the League One table as The Stags suffered a third league defeat on the trot last weekend, losing 3-2 at home to play-off hopefuls, Leyton Orient, while the bigger picture will be a cause for some concern for Mansfield Town manager, Nigel Clough.
Indeed, Clough has witnessed his Mansfield Town side pick up just two wins in their last 18 matches overall in League One which came in the form of rare successes against Barnsley and Bristol Rovers but the visitors have also slumped to a total of 12 defeats within this 18-game period as well.
Results away from home have also been poor for The Stags as the visitors have registered just one win from their last nine outings on the road in the English third tier, losing five of these.
The Betting Verdict
Rotherham United with home advantage should at least avoid defeat against a poor-travelling Mansfield Town outfit.
The Pick :
Rotherham Utd 1-0 Mansfield Town
