Recent home/away form

West Brom

West Brom's recent home form has been strong, with four wins, one draw, and only one loss in their last six matches at The Hawthorns. They had a notable run of three consecutive home wins against Bristol City, Coventry, and Cardiff, scoring two goals in each of those victories while keeping clean sheets against Bristol City and Cardiff. However, their winning streak was interrupted by a 0-2 defeat against Southampton. The most recent home game ended in a high-scoring 2-2 draw against Watford, which was one of only two matches in this period where both teams scored and the total goals exceeded 2.5.

Rotherham

Rotherham's away form has been dismal, with six consecutive defeats in their last six matches on the road. This losing streak has seen them concede a staggering 22 goals while scoring just four, resulting in a goal difference of -18. The team has been particularly vulnerable to high-scoring games, with all six matches featuring over 2.5 goals, and three of those games seeing the opposition score five goals each. Rotherham's defensive frailties are evident, as they have failed to keep a single clean sheet in these six away games, conceding an average of 3.67 goals per match.
