Rotherham United hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 36 points and a 22nd position in the Championship table. Visiting Nottingham Forest holds 9th place with 57 pts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Rotherham United, who have the most conceded goals (67) in Championship, have collected 26 points from their home games so far after 6-8-5.In their previous game, the manager P. Warne led his Rotherham United to a defeat in the Championship match away at Derby County. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at AESSEAL New York Stadium. Preceding that match was a defeat to Norwich City (1-2).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Aston Villa are coming to town in four days.
The Rotherham United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 27 in 19 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 30 goals have been conceded.
Nottingham Forest form and stats
3 wins, 11 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Nottingham Forest playing as the away team this season. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.Nottingham Forest are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Championship against Swansea City. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Ipswich Town that ended 1-1.
The schedule is very tough for Nottingham Forest now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Sheffield Wednesday is waiting in only three days.
Nottingham Forest find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 25 goals from 19 away fixtures. 26 goals have been conceded by Nottingham Forest in these games.
