Recent home/away form

Bristol City

Bristol City's recent home form has been mixed, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six games at Ashton Gate. However, they have shown signs of improvement, going unbeaten in their last three home matches, including an impressive 5-0 victory over Blackburn on April 10th, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Prior to this recent unbeaten run, Bristol City had suffered back-to-back 1-0 defeats against Cardiff and Queens Park Rangers. Despite their inconsistent form, the Robins have been solid defensively at home, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just three goals in their last six home games, resulting in a low goals conceded per game average of 0.5.

Rotherham

Rotherham's away form has been dismal, as they are currently on a six-game losing streak on the road. Their defensive struggles are particularly concerning, having conceded a staggering 18 goals in their last six away matches, an average of three goals per game. This poor defensive record is highlighted by the fact that they have failed to keep a single clean sheet during this period. Additionally, Rotherham's attack has been virtually non-existent, scoring only one goal in these six games. The team has been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals, including two particularly heavy defeats against Norwich and Coventry, both ending in 5-0 scorelines.
