Rotherham United, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Swansea City will have left the Rotherham United squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 29%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target, in contrast to Swansea City, who had 16 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 39 of their 43 games played.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table. Their league form has not been good this season, with 28 defeats in 43 matches.
Birmingham City, Recent FormAfter an eye catching 3-0 home win in their last match against Coventry City, the Birmingham City players will be in buoyant mood ahead of this fixture. In that game they had 29% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Coventry City who had 12 attempts and 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 19 of their 21 games on the road.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Jay Stansfield will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Birmingham City.
Birmingham City had to make do with a share of the points in their last match against Rotherham United, with the game ending a 0-0 draw.
On each of the last 2 outings between Rotherham and The Blues in the league, Rotherham have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. Playing away from home, Birmingham have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Rotherham.
Birmingham player Lukas Jutkiewicz will be feeling confident about recording goals against Rotherham ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Rotherham manager Leam Richardson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tyler Blackett (Hamstring), André Green (Achilles tendon), Grant Hall (Hip), Jordan Hugill (Knee), Peter Kioso (Hamstring), Sean Morrison (Calf) and Christ Tiéhi (Abdominal) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Gary Rowett has a number of injury concerns in his Birmingham squad to contend with: Lee Buchanan (Groin), Oliver Burke (Muscle), Alfie Chang (Cruciate ligament), Lukas Jutkiewicz (Knee) and Marc Roberts (Calf)
