Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormThe Blackburn Rovers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Hull City recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 62%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Hull City, who had 21 shots on goal with 9 on target.
They have bagged 5 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 15 times in that period. They have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 home games this season.
Blackburn Rovers will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
On an individual basis, Sammie Szmodics will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 15 goals in Blackburn Rovers' 25 league games this season.
Rotherham United, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Sunderland will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Rotherham United. They achieved 30% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Sunderland's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Leam Richardson will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 7 of their 12 games this season.
It's been a dismal run of form for Rotherham on their travels, not managing to win any of their last 25 away games.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Blackburn have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against The Millers.
