Blackpool, Recent FormBlackpool will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Huddersfield Town, which ran out a 2-2 draw. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Huddersfield Town's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 3 of their last 6 matches. Mick McCarthy will be unhappy that his team have failed to keep a clean sheet in so many home games, having conceded in 12 of their 14 this season.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Bloomfield Road, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 6 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Rotherham United, Recent FormA 0-0 draw against Sheffield United will be viewed as a positive outcome for Rotherham United and a valuable point into the bargain. They came away from that fixture with a 38% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Sheffield United, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. 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. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 8 away games out of 15 this season, Matt Taylor will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Ben Wiles will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Blackpool in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Rotherham United.
After a good 3-0 win for Rotherham United in this pair's last league encounter, Blackpool will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The Millers will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 9 encounters with Blackpool.
Rotherham will be looking to continue their winning streak against Blackpool, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 11 meetings.
Blackpool manager Mick McCarthy has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Keshi Anderson (Hamstring), Liam Bridcutt (Leg), Marvin Ekpiteta (Hamstring), Lewis Fiorini (Leg), Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel (Knee) and Kevin Stewart (Broken foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Rotherham manager Matt Taylor with Tom Eaves (Calf), Georgie Kelly (Hamstring), Domingos Quina (Hamstring) and Ben Wiles (Ankle) all unavailable for selection, and Sean Morrison (Thigh) out for the rest of the season.
