Rotherham United, Recent FormThe Rotherham United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Cardiff City recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Cardiff City's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Matt Taylor will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. 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. Taylor will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 8 games in a row.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Rotherham United, Jordan Hugill will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Luton Town will have left the Middlesbrough squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 63%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Luton Town had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Whilst manager Michael Carrick will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 in the same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 10 games. Away from home they have not had their troubles to seek, with at least 1 goal conceded in 21 of their last 22 away league matches this season, making points hard to come by on the road.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Chuba Akpom will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Middlesbrough.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Playing at home, Rotherham have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Middlesboro.
In the league, Middlesboro has a good track record when they travel to Rotherham, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
With only Grant Hall (Hamstring) and Sean Morrison (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Matt Taylor will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Michael Carrick has a number of injury concerns in his Middlesboro squad to contend with: Matt Clarke (Back), Dael Fry (Knock) and Aaron Ramsey (Ankle)
