H2H: Swansea vs Rotherham – Prediction (Championship

H2H: Swansea v Rotherham – Comparison.

Swansea defender Ryan Manning is a former Rotherham player, and he scored twice for the Millers against the Swans in November 2018. Rotherham’s lack of goals is highlighted by the fact that two-goal Jamie Lindsay’s recent first-half brace makes him his side’s joint top-scorer. Swansea’s average of four corners per game is the highest in the league.

Swansea Insights.

Swansea start the game week inside the Championship top six, but they’ve only won two of their previous seven league matches (W2, D3, L2). Despite this slight dip in form, they’ve conceded over 1.5 goals in just one of their 11 league matches so far, and their ‘goals against’ average of 0.64 is the second-lowest in the league. Strong at home, the Swans have lost only one of their previous seven home league matches (W5, D1, L1). In three of the previous four such fixtures, they scored exactly two goals, and also netted before half-time in each of the most recent three. They’ve also won more corners than their opponents in three consecutive league matches at the Liberty Stadium.

Rotherham Insights.

Though down in 19th place, Rotherham have tended to start their fixtures well, conceding just twice before HT all season. Yet, their vulnerability grows the longer their matches proceed, resulting in 75% of their conceded league goals arriving in the final 30 minutes of the match. The visitors have won only one of their previous nine Championship matches on the road (W1, D3, L5) and failed to score over 1.5 goals in seven of those fixtures. Interestingly though, they did score a combined five goals in both H2H meetings in 2018/19, three of which came after the 75th minute.
