Rotherham United are seeking to bounce back from last weekend’s loss at Cheltenham Town. The Millers play their first League Two home match of the 2026/27 campaign on Saturday when newly-promoted York City are the visitors to AESSEAL New York Stadium.
What to Expect
The visitors will be without forward Josh Stones due to a lower-spine issue.
Key Player
Ollie Pearce has been a prolific scorer at non-league level for more than a decade, hitting 35 times in 48 outings last term as York won promotion from the National League to the EFL.
Recent Form
The Millers have lost their last two matches, while York City followed up a 2-0 home loss to Crawley Town with an opening-day 3-2 win over Steve Evans' Bristol Rovers.
Past Meetings
The two teams last met in the JP Trophy in 2013, with Rotherham winning 3-0. As of the end of the 2025 season, Rotherham United were 23rd in League One, with 41 points from 46 games, and a recent form of LDLWL.
The Opposition
York City's head coach, Scott Lindsey, was appointed in July and has had a difficult relationship with the fans so far. The referee for the match will be Declan Bourne, who has taken charge of games in Leagues One and Two since 2020.
