Birmingham City, Recent FormThe Birmingham City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 4-2 away defeat against Blackburn Rovers, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 26 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Blackburn Rovers who had 11 attempts and 6 on target.
Their boss Wayne Rooney is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 15 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 8 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Rotherham United, Recent FormThe Rotherham United squad will be looking to reset their fortunes after their heavy 4-1 away defeat at the hands of Hull City. They came away from that fixture with a 27% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Hull City, who managed 22 attempts on goal, 12 of which were on target.
Despite scoring 5 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 15 goals in that same period. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 17 of their 18 games.
It's been a dismal run of form for Rotherham on their travels, not managing to win any of their last 22 away games.
It was one to forget for Rotherham United last time they met Birmingham City in the league, falling to a 2-0 defeat.
Away from home, The Millers have shipped at least one goal to Birmingham in each of their previous 4 league matches against them.
In this away league fixture, Rotherham has not won in the last 4 times they have played Birmingham at St. Andrew's Stadium.
Lukas Jutkiewicz will be feeling confident about scoring for Birmingham ahead of this encounter with Rotherham, having netted 3 goals in the past 3 league meetings between these two at St. Andrew's Stadium.
Birmingham manager Wayne Rooney has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Keshi Anderson (Hamstring), George Hall (Hamstring) and Tyler Roberts (Calf) are all currently out of contention for this game.
(TBC) has a number of injury concerns in his Rotherham squad to contend with: Tyler Blackett (Hamstring), Carlos Cafú (Hamstring), Sam Clucas (Hamstring), Shane Ferguson (Hernia), André Green (Achilles tendon) and Cameron Humphreys (Hamstring)
