Rotherham United, Recent FormRotherham United manager Paul Warne will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Middlesbrough. They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 44% and clocked up 3 attempts on goal with 0 on target, in comparison to Middlesbrough, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.
They have been performing well at AESSEAL New York Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
On an individual basis, Richard Wood will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Rotherham United's last 6 league games.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Reading will have left the Wigan Athletic squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Reading who had 7 attempts and 2 on target.
Manager Leam Richardson will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
3 wins in a row away from home has to be viewed as a good run of form on the road, a spell that has also seen them unbeaten in their last 5 matches.
On an individual basis, Will Keane is giving Wigan Athletic's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
In each of their last 10 games away from home in the league to Rotherham, The Latics have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run. In their past 5 meetings, Wigan's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Millers will have to take their chances when they come.
When playing at home in the league, Rotherham have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Wigan, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
With only Shane Ferguson (Leg) and Lee Peltier (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Paul Warne will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Wigan manager Leam Richardson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jordan Cousins (Calf), Tendayi Darikwa (Dislocated shoulder) and Gwion Edwards (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
