Rotherham vs Northampton
If you look at the table, you'll see this is match between 24th and 21th team. But, the point is that Rotherdam was penalised 10 points, so situation without penalty is little bit different. Northampton is promoted from League Two this year and it seems they have hard times adjusting their play in higher class. Rotherdam has the chance here to jump over into the positive number of points (they have -2 points at the moment). With 7 points out from last 3 matches it seems they are catching right form for escaping from relegation zone.Also, they brough few new players during the summer, so they shouldn't have any worries about relegation this year. They are almost full-strength for this match, only Colin Murdock and Justin Cochrane are sidelineded.Northampton's form is far from good, but they are still unbeaten away from home in two matches. David Hunt and Fred Murray won't play today, but most important for them is that they're having Scott McGleish back (last year's best scorer in League Two) along with James Quinn.If they want to get away from dangerous zone Rotherdam have to resume with good results and win at home against weaker Northampton is very precious. The odds are pretty high, so I'm going to take -0.5 Ah (equals home win) for my pick.Prediction: Rotherdam -0.5 AhOdds: 2.22
