A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Swansea City fans are optimistic that the difference between 6th and Rotherham United's 19th place in the table will show on the pitch.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Swansea City form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Swansea City have to build on here at Liberty Stadium in the Championship. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Liberty Stadium.
Swansea City faced defeat in their previous match, away at Norwich City (0-1). Before that, Swansea played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Brentford.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Swansea as they have a new game in only four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Sheffield Wednesday are visiting.
The Swansea fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. From these home matches, Swansea have conceded only 3 goals.
Rotherham United form and stats
As the visiting team in Championship matches, Rotherham United have produced an overall stat of 1-2-2 so far. Rotherham United seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The supporters enjoyed Rotherham's previous game versus Preston North End (placed 14th), a Championship 2-1 win played at home. A 0-1 loss hosting Luton Town before that.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager P. Warne when Matt Crooks scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Queens Park Rangers.
The attacking power of Rotherham United when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. As opposed to that, Rotherham have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Swansea, two draws and two wins for Rotherham United. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
