Birmingham City, Recent FormBirmingham City were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Wigan Athletic. They achieved 28% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Wigan Athletic's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 3 of their last 6 matches. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling John Eustace of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 5 games.
Rotherham United, Recent FormRotherham United will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their home outing against Queens Park Rangers. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to Queens Park Rangers, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Matt Taylor will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points 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 9 away games out of 18 this season, Taylor will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Ben Wiles will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Birmingham City in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Rotherham United.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-0 win for Rotherham United.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 8 away matches against Birmingham in the league, The Millers have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend.
In this away league fixture, Rotherham has not won in the last 3 times they have played Birmingham at St. Andrew's Stadium.
With 4 goals from the previous 3 league matches against Rotherham at St. Andrew's Stadium, Birmingham player, Lukas Jutkiewicz, will be looking forward to this clash.
Birmingham manager John Eustace has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jobe Bellingham (Abdominal), Krystian Bielik (Calf), Tate Campbell (Hamstring), Harlee Dean (Muscle), Troy Deeney (Muscle), Reda Khadra (Hamstring), Dion Sanderson (Back) and Auston Trusty (Calf) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Rotherham manager Matt Taylor with Grant Hall (Hamstring), Domingos Quina (Knee) and Ben Wiles (Ankle) all unavailable for selection, and Sean Morrison (Thigh) out for the rest of the season.
