Rotherham United, Recent FormThe Rotherham United squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Coventry City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with 51% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Coventry City managed 8 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Having not hit the back of the net in 2 games, the goals seem to have dried up for them recently when playing at home. Matt Taylor will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
It's been a disappointing spell of home league form lately, having managed to rack up just 1 victory and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches.
Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland manager Tony Mowbray will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Bristol City. In that game they had 54% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Bristol City who had 9 attempts and 2 on target.
It's fair to say that Mowbray will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 13 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 8 games in a row.
Ross Stewart is the man of the moment at Sunderland right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
A defeat for Rotherham United in their last match against Sunderland was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
The Rotherham defence has struggled against The Black Cats in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 games. Playing at home, Rotherham have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Sunderland.
With Georgie Kelly (Hamstring) and Ben Wiles (Ankle) both unavailable and Sean Morrison (Thigh) being out for the rest of the season, Rotherham manager Matt Taylor will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray with Elliot Embleton (Broken ankle), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament) and Lynden Gooch (Hip) all unavailable for selection, and Ross Stewart (Achilles tendon) out for the rest of the season.
