Recent respective form guides

Rotherham United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Merry Millers have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Burnley's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Clarets have hit 4 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Rotherham U. are currently lying in 19th place in Nationwide League Division One having mustered a points tally of 51 from their 44 matches played. Burnley find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 53 points from their 44 matches.
