Rotherham United, Recent FormRotherham United will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Cardiff City, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. During that encounter they had 31% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 0 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
Manager Matt Taylor will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. 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. They've had a poor start to their season losing 6 of 9 league games.
Bristol City, Recent FormThe 3-2 home defeat to Stoke City will not have sat easily with the Bristol City squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 53% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Stoke City who had 6 attempts and 4 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of form for Bristol City recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Sam Bell will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Bristol City's last 6 league games.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-1 win for Bristol City.
