Scunthorpe vs Rotherham Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Scunthorpe vs Rotherham predictions and betting tips for the League One play-off match on Saturday lunch time with a goals tip and match prediction included.

The second of the League One play-offs continue with a local derby between Scunthorpe and Rotherham. The Iron have been much-improved under Nick Daws and he appears to be getting the best out of players such as Duane Holmes and Hakeeb Adelekun. They draw with Bradford on the final day of the season but their place in the top six was already guaranteed by that point. They recently beat Plymouth at Glanford Park and that was a statement of intent from the Lincolnshire club. Rotherham have enjoyed a decent season under Paul Warne and their high-tempo approach has made it difficult for the opposition throughout the season. They ended the season with a 1-0 success against Blackpool. The Millers will want to take something back to the New York Stadium. They did the double over Scunny this season and will be hoping to make it a perfect three from three here. Both sides would love the chance to return to the Championship.
