League One Best Bets

The arrival of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was met with jubilation at Northampton, but he's failed to turn around the fortunes of the club as expected once the honeymoon period wore off, and it could be a very tough trip to Rotherham.

Rotherham are rocking at the moment and have already put five past Southend, Walsall and Oldham in front of their own fans this season, and there is just this feeling that things are going right for them. The shot data supports Rotherham's results as well, so it's hard to blame it on too much luck.

Northampton have failed to score in four of their six away matches this seaosn, and have now gone 315 minutes without a goal.

Another home side who should get the job done are Bristol Rovers when they welcome Plymouth on Saturday. The Pilgrim's are pretty terrible all round this season, losing nine of their 12 games so far, and they have failed to score in their last three games now. Derek Adams has a certain amount of credit in the bank for his acheivements last season, but he currently has problems at both ends of the pitch.

Defensively the unit just arent performing at the required level - leaking 153 chances in 10 matches - 67 of which ended up on target. He'll be less concerned at the other end, but it's still a worry. They are creating chances, but not putting enough quality in the final third to make anything happen. Their 6 goals scored is poor, but it should improve naturally as the season goes on.
