Rotherham United travel to Sixfields Stadium this Saturday to face Northampton Town in a League Two fixture. The match kicks off at 3pm local time as both sides look to climb the table from their current mid-table positions.
Rotherham sit 16th in the division with six points from their opening six matches. Their recent form has been mixed, with a dramatic 3-3 draw at home to Salford City last time out. Brandon Cover, Paul Mullin from the penalty spot, and Ossama Ashley were the scorers in that game, which saw the Millers fight back from two goals down. Their last away trip ended in a 1-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers. The team's full squad details are available, showing the players who contributed to those results.
Northampton, one place below Rotherham in 17th, have also had an inconsistent start. They were beaten 2-0 at Shrewsbury Town in their last outing but had secured a 1-0 home win over Newport County the week before. The Cobblers' lineup against Shrewsbury featured Zak Jeacock in goal with Sam Hoskins and Nicky Opoku leading the attack.
Steve Evans's Rotherham side will likely field a similar team to the one that started against Salford. That 3-4-1-2 formation included Jamie Eyestone in goal, with Dexter Hall, Sonny Aljofree and Khanya Ngwenya in defence. Alex Nemane and Eiran Otoo provided width, with Brandon Cover and Ossama Ashley in midfield behind forwards Fábio Tavares and Paul Mullin.

The last meeting between these two sides was a 2-1 victory for Rotherham at the New York Stadium back in January. A win for either team this weekend could see them jump several places in a tightly-packed lower half of League Two, a shift that would be immediately reflected in the official standings.
