Rotherham United form and stats

It's not happening yet for Rotherham United on their Championship travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different?

There might be some fixture complaints from Rotherham United as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-2 against Huddersfield Town. Attacker Green got a player rating of 7.13 in the game. "Man of the match" Green hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Before that, Rotherham secured a home win against Norwich City with the score 2-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Rotherham United playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 2 home wins.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Preston North End in just three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Rotherham as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Rotherham United's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.
