Rotherham United, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Rotherham United supremo Matt Taylor after sustaining a heavy 3-0 away loss to Millwall. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Millwall's tally of 20 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, Taylor will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 6 goals they scored. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Birmingham City. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Birmingham City who had 16 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Ryan Lowe will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. When playing away from home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 6 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Goalscorer Will Keane will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Preston North End.
It was not a positive ending for Rotherham United last time they met Preston North End in the league, with the game ending in a 1-2 defeat.
Away from home, The Lilywhites have shipped at least one goal to Rotherham in each of their previous 4 league matches against them.
Rotherham manager Matt Taylor has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Carlos Cafú (Muscle), Shane Ferguson (Hernia), Grant Hall (Unknown), Jamie Lindsay (Achilles tendon), Sean Morrison (Calf) and Lee Peltier (Calf) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Ryan Lowe has a number of injury concerns in his Preston squad to contend with: Ched Evans (Spinal cord), Will Keane (Muscle), Calvin Ramsay (Knee) and Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament)
