Recent respective form guides
Rotherham United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While The Millers have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Derby County's away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Rams, and 8 goals against.
Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 32 games have yielded only 22 points. Derby County's total of 51 points from their 32 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.
