Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland will not be too disheartened with their 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Preston North End who sit so many places above them in the table. They came away from that fixture with 65% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Preston North End managed 11 attempts on goal, with 2 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 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 15 games in a row, but they've also conceded a goal in each of the last 9 games at Stadium of Light.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Ross Stewart will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Sunderland.
Rotherham United, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Blackburn Rovers will be viewed as a positive outcome for Rotherham United and a valuable point into the bargain. In that game they recorded 23 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 22 shots on goal.
Manager Matt Taylor will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
An away win for Rotherham United is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 14 games.
On an individual basis, Ben Wiles will be looking to cause Sunderland some problems having scored 2 goals in Rotherham United's last 6 away games in the league.
It ended in disappointment and a 2-1 defeat for Sunderland last time they met Rotherham United in the league, with The Millers defying the odds to take the win.
Sunderland will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 8 encounters with The Millers.
Rotherham has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Sunderland, being unable to find a win from any of their last 5 league meetings at Stadium of Light.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ajibola Alese (Unknown), Elliot Embleton (Ankle), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament) and Ross Stewart (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Matt Taylor has a number of injury concerns in his Rotherham squad to contend with: Tom Eaves (Calf), Shane Ferguson (Hernia), Jamie Lindsay (Achilles tendon) and Lee Peltier (Calf)
