Perhaps a welcome break from league football as West Brom U18 & Rotherham U18 face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Youth Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
West Brom U18 and Rotherham U18 should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
West Brom U18 form and stats
Last season, Brom's FA Youth Cup journey ended in the semi-finals.Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Birmingham City U18 in the Premier League U18 last time out and are looking for a win here.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Aston Villa U18 (0-1).There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for West Brom U18 as they are travelling to their away game against Reading U18 in the Premier League U18. That match is four days after this one.
Rotherham U18 form and stats
Rotherham U18 was sent out of FA Youth Cup in the 3rd round last season.As the visiting team in Youth Alliance matches, Rotherham U18 have produced an overall stat of 2-0-2 so far. With the Rotherham U18 losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Home advantage was not enough for Rotherham U18 in their previous game, as they lost their Youth Alliance-match, hosting Bradford City U18, 1-4.
It was a Youth Alliance defeat before that one as the away game against Lincoln City U18 wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rotherham U18 manager Poulter as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Grimsby Town U18.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Rotherham are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Rotherham U18 manager Poulter has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
