Rotherham United, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Bristol City will have left the Rotherham United squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Bristol City managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Matt Taylor will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 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 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at AESSEAL New York Stadium. With a defensive record that shows one or more goals given away in 16 of their 21 home matches so far this season, Taylor will not be happy with his squad's capabilities at keeping a clean sheet at home.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Jordan Hugill will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Rotherham United's last 6 league games.
Cardiff City, Recent FormIt's fair to say Cardiff City will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Stoke City, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 35% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Stoke City's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. 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.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Goalscorer Sory Kaba will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cardiff City.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 1-0 win for Cardiff City.
The Rotherham defence has struggled against The Bluebirds in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 games.
Rotherham has a poor track record in the league when they host Cardiff, losing in their last 2 home games.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Rotherham manager Matt Taylor with Grant Hall (Hamstring), Viktor Johansson (Shoulder), Conor Washington (Knee) and Bailey Wright (Ligament) all unavailable for selection, and Sean Morrison (Thigh) out for the rest of the season.
Sabri Lamouchi has a number of injury concerns in his Cardiff squad to contend with: Ebou Adams (Leg), Jamilu Collins (Cruciate ligament) and Callum Robinson (Hamstring)
