Rotherham's equivalent run is even more draw-heavy: four wins, eight draws and eight losses, with 23 scored and 35 conceded. Several of those games have finished level at three-all or two-all, which points to a defence that leaks goals almost as often as the attack finds them.

Neither side is arriving with real momentum behind them.

Comparative Team Statistics: Swindon Town vs Rotherham

Head-to-Head

The two sides met last season in the FA Cup, with Swindon winning 2-1 away at Rotherham. Further back, their League One and League Two meetings from over a decade ago include a 4-0 and a 3-2, both won by Swindon.

That history is old and spans different competitions, so it says little about either squad's current form.

Where They Stand

In the League Two table, Swindon sit 18th with 12 points from 11 games. Rotherham are down in 23rd with 10 points from the same number of matches.

The gap between them is only two points, so this isn't the mismatch the table positions might suggest at first glance.

Players to Watch

Swindon's A. Drinan has been their most productive forward, scoring five goals in eight matches. Rotherham's P. Mullin isn't far behind with four in the same span, and both could be central to any attacking threat here.

Swindon Town:

Best scorers:

A. Drinan - 5

Penalty cards:

M. Clark x 1 x 1

Rotherham:

Best scorers:

P. Mullin - 4

Penalty cards:

J. Buyabu x 3

On discipline, Rotherham's J. Buyabu has picked up three yellow cards in eight games, while Swindon's M. Clark has already been sent off once in six appearances. That's worth bearing in mind if the game gets niggly.

Goal Trends

Rotherham's recent matches have regularly produced plenty of goals, with two 3-3 draws and a 1-4 defeat all featuring in the last couple of months. Swindon's games have tended to be tighter, mixing low-scoring draws and narrow defeats with the odd big scoreline.

Both teams' goals-against numbers in the league are on the higher side for the games played so far, which suggests this one could still open up even with neither side in great attacking nick.

If Rotherham's leaky away form continues, this has the ingredients for an open match.
