Rotherham United, Recent FormThe Rotherham United squad will want to put the 3-0 away thrashing they received from Millwall firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Millwall's tally of 26 efforts at goal, 12 of which were on target.
They have bagged 4 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 14 times in that period. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 11 out of 12 home games. Boss Matt Taylor will not be pleased that his side has found keeping a clean sheet a challenging task at home this season, having conceded goals in 9 of their 12 matches.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormHaving secured a 1-0 home win against Cardiff City in their latest league match, Blackburn Rovers will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. In that game they recorded 54 of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 11 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Jon Dahl Tomasson will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late.
Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.
The last time these two teams met Blackburn Rovers enforced their superiority over Rotherham United with a comfortable 3-0 win.
Rovers will be confident of finding the net in this one against Rotherham, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 12 encounters between the two sides.
In the league, Rotherham have been unbeaten in their last 4 times they have welcomed Blackburn to AESSEAL New York Stadium.
Rotherham manager Matt Taylor has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tom Eaves (Calf), Grant Hall (Hamstring), Georgie Kelly (Calf) and Ben Wiles (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has a number of injury concerns in his Blackburn squad to contend with: Sam Barnes (Knee), Callum Brittain (Medial Collateral Ligament) and Jack Vale (Calf)
