Bristol City have played 21 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 8-7-6 (wins-draws-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for Bristol.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 221 minutes without scoring a league goal. Cornick was the last player to find the net.

Bristol City are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Sheffield United. Dasilva, defender, was given a rating of 7.35/10 in that game, top of the team. Dasilva hit one key pass and won 11 of 17 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Bristol City lost 0-2 at Watford's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Rotherham United form and stats

Rotherham United have only collected 16 points from their away games in the Championship, after 2-10-9 (21 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

Rotherham United delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Burnley (placed 1st) in their previous game. As mentioned above, Rotherham United drew the match against Burnley. Manager Taylor brought on Kelly to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Kelly, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.63. Kelly scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Luton Town.

Rotherham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 7 matches.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 21 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
