Brentford form and stats

Brentford, who have the most scored goals (61) in Championship, have performed here at Brentford Community Stadium this season with 10 wins from 17 Championship matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 5 games and lost 2. Two home wins in a row for Brentford bring valid hopes of a third.

Ahead of that match, Brentford won a home game hosting Stoke City (2-1).

David Raya had a busy but productive day in the Norwich City match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (34 in 17 games), Brentford's attacking play is working. Brentford have conceded 18 in these home matches.

Rotherham United form and stats

5 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses. That’s the product of Rotherham United playing as the away team in the Championship this season.

A 0-1 loss hosting Reading before that.

Freddie Ladapo came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Sheffield Wednesday last time out, making the manager P. Warne feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Sheffield Wednesday, was very satisfying as Freddie Ladapo scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

The schedule is very tough for Rotherham United now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Luton Town is waiting in only three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Rotherham as they have only managed to score 15 times from 16 away games in the league. Rotherham United have conceded 21 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Rotherham United - Brentford 0-2 earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: seven wins for Brentford, zero draws and three wins for Rotherham United. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
