Recent respective form guides

Rotherham United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Millers have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Port Vale's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Rotherham U. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca Cola League One with a return of just 26 points from their 26 games thus far. Port Vale find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 32 points from their 26 matches.
