Rotherham United, Recent FormMatt Taylor will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 away thrashing at the hands of West Bromwich Albion. They came away from that fixture with 50% of the possession and clocked up 2 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, West Bromwich Albion managed 16 attempts on goal, with 9 on target.
Taylor will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 6 goals they've managed to net. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 10 out of 11 home games.
Results have been poor for Rotherham recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Stoke City, Recent FormStoke City will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 away win against Bristol City. In that game they recorded 49 of the possession, with 6 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 14 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. When playing away from home this season, they have notched up a respectable 5 clean sheets.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Stoke City, losing 0-1 to Rotherham United.
The Potters defence has struggled at AESSEAL New York Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits. The Millers have struggled to keep Stoke at bay when these two teams have met at AESSEAL New York Stadium, during the last 3 times they have hosted Stoke in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
When playing away from home in the league, Stoke have failed to win any of their last 6 meetings with Rotherham, with the last 3 of those games ending in a draw.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rotherham manager Matt Taylor ahead of this clash, with Peter Kioso (Ankle) missing out, which gives Taylor a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Sam Clucas (Back) and Josh Laurent (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Alex Neil will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
