It's no vacation for neither Rotherham United nor Cardiff City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Rotherham United form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Rotherham United have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 13 games.

Rotherham enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Preston North End's place. The match ended 2-1 with Ben Wiles scoring. Ahead of that match, Rotherham won a home game hosting Derby County (3-0).

The victory against Preston North End came after Ben Wiles's winning goal. The Rotherham manager P. Warne was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 14th minute.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Queens Park Rangers are coming to town in four days.

Rotherham are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 13 games. Rotherham have conceded 18 in these home matches.

A new game in only four days for Cardiff, the Championship home match versus Coventry City. Busy days.
