National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Rotherham United or Morecambe that keep their silverware dream alive.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Rotherham United and Morecambe.

Rotherham United form and stats

Last season, Rotherham United's Carabao Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.

No payout for Rotherham in their previous match, an away game at Stoke City that ended in defeat 1-4. Wiles, who usually features in attack, was the declared top performer for the side in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 6.84 (out of 10). Wiles hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Wigan Athletic that finished 0-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Rotherham United as they have a new game in only four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Blackburn Rovers are visiting.

Morecambe form and stats

Morecambe was sent out of Carabao Cup in the 3rd round last season.

The supporters enjoyed Morecambe's previous game versus Walsall, a 2-1 win played at home. Late drama in the previous game, when Rawson scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Walsall. Mayor, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.85. Mayor scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

It was a League One defeat before that one as the away game against Exeter City wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

The schedule is very tough for Morecambe now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Mansfield Town is waiting in only four days.

Head 2 Head

Data for the former ten meetings featuring these two squads are: four wins for Rotherham United, two draws and four wins for Morecambe. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
