Recent respective form guides

Crewe Alexandra's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Railwaymen have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Rotherham U.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. The Millers have conceded 11 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
