For Rotherham United, goals were scored by André Green (9'), Alex MacDonald (14'), Zak Jules (45') and Mallik Wilks (53'). Miles Leaburn (45') and Matt Godden (92') scored for Charlton Athletic.
A series of resolute showings by the Rotherham United defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their past 6 outings in total. In that period, their own attack force has managed to score 9. That pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this match, however.

🗞️ Team News: Burton Albion
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Burton Albion manager Gary Bowyer to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Geraldo Bajrami (Cruciate ligament injury) is sidelined.
⚡ Prediction
We believe that Burton Albion will need to push hard to put one past this Rotherham United outfit who we think will be able to grind out a win.
We’re therefore anticipating a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 advantage for Rotherham United when the referee blows for full-time.
Let’s see.
