Darlo face Millers
Darlington Rotherham

Tomorrow sees the 'Bring A Friend' initiative introduced at the Arena where fans are invited to bring someone along to the game who may not necessarily come already. Officials at the club are hoping for a crowd in excess of 6,000 for this important clash between 2 automatic promotion contenders.

Darlo have an unbeaten home record and are also on a run of 5 wins in the League. Rotherham have 4 wins in their last 5. The two teams have met 55 times over the years with Darlo winning 25, Rotherham winning 14 and the other 16 resulting in a draw

Darlington Team News:

Darlo can welcome back Ricky Ravenhill into the squad after he was suspended against Lincoln. Pawel Abbott could find himself on the bench again with Blundell and Wright working well up front together. Martin Smith is on his way back from injury but could miss out on a palce on the bench.

Player to watch: Richie Foran

The Southend loanee has netted in his previous two games and will be looking to add to it tomorrow.

Rotherham Team News:

Rotherham manager Mark Robins has to wait on the fitness of several players including Mark Hudson, Danny Harrison, Paul Hurst and Peter Holmes who have all had slight injuries over the last week.

Player to watch: Derek Holmes

Holmes is Rotherham's top scorer for the season so will be looking to test Darlington's defence and stop them maintaining their unbeaten home record.

Match Prediction:

I reckon this will be a tight game and I will go for a 1-1 draw
