Recent respective form guides

Rotherham United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Millers have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Wigan Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.

Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 28 games have yielded only 19 points. Wigan Ath. are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola Championship, and have accumulated 53 points from the 28 games they have played so far.
