Recent respective form guides

Rotherham United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Millers have scored 9, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Gillingham is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. The Gills have conceded 15 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Rotherham U. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 34 points from their 40 games thus far. Gillingham find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 49 points from their 40 matches.
