Recent respective form guides

Brighton & Hove Albion's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Seagulls have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Rotherham U. is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the The Millers have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Brighton & HA are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 22 points from 21 matches. Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 21 games have yielded only 11 points.
