National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ipswich Town or Rotherham United that keep their silverware dream alive.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

The data says 7 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.

2-2 away at Portsmouth before that.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.

Rotherham United form and stats
Rotherham United's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Rotherham United so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-7 (win-draw-lose).
Washington was the last player to score for the away team. Rotherham United haven't scored a league goal in the last 199 minutes.
Rotherham United lost away at Millwall (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Rotherham goalkeeper Johansson could enjoy a superb shift versus Millwall, but despite achieving nine saves the loss could not be avoided.
It was a Championship defeat before that one as the away game against Huddersfield Town wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Rotherham United as they have only managed to score 8 times from 14 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Rotherham have conceded 22 goals in their away games.
