Rotherham United form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (17) in League One, are W6-D3-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League One.

Rotherham has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Queens Park Rangers (after extra-time, 8-7 on penalties) for a FA Cup game that ended a draw (1-1). Vickers had red hot gloves after the game against Queens Park Rangers (after extra-time, 8-7 on penalties), shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made. Defender Ihiekwe was the best team player with a rating of 8.44. Ihiekwe scored one goal and won 11 of 12 duels.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Crewe Alexandra at their stadium, the result 4-2.

A new game in only three days for Rotherham, the League One home match versus Lincoln City. Busy days.

Rotherham have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 13 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Rotherham's manager Warne has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 4 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
