Huddersfield Town, Recent FormHuddersfield Town will be feeling reasonably confident about this match, having secured a 2-1 away win against Preston North End in their last league encounter. They came away from that fixture with 54% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Preston North End managed 11 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Mark Fotheringham will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 4 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Despite winning their last league game there have been some concerning signs recently, with them having failed to score in 4 of their last 6, so the fans will be hoping they have turned a corner. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at John Smith's Stadium, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Rotherham United, Recent FormA point gained from their 2-2 draw against Stoke City in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Rotherham United. They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Stoke City's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. 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.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Ben Wiles will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Huddersfield Town in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Rotherham United.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Huddersfield Town who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Rotherham United.
In the league, Huddersfield have been unbeaten in their last 3 times they have welcomed Rotherham to John Smith's Stadium.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Huddersfield manager Mark Fotheringham with Tino Anjorin (Ankle), Pat Jones (Hamstring), Matty Pearson (Broken foot) and Ollie Turton (Ankle) all unavailable for selection, and Yuta Nakayama (Achilles tendon) out for the rest of the season.
With only Grant Hall (Hamstring) and Georgie Kelly (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Matt Taylor will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
