Match preview

Second-placed Rotherham have had a few wobbles during the last two months of the League One season but they can seal automatic promotion by beating relegation-threatened Gillingham at the Priestfield Stadium.

Rotherham need a win to guarantee promotion and Gillingham know a defeat will see them relegated.

However, there is a greater sense of clarity for the visitors, who know that a draw would be of no value in their bid to stay above third-placed MK Dons, who are just one point behind them.

Gillingham could survive with one point or three depending on results elsewhere but they are the lowest scorers in the division with just 35 goals and their general lack of firepower could play into the hands of Rotherham, who look solid favourites to get the win they crave.
