Hull v Rotherham

Hull vs Rotherham Preview

Hull City gained a point in a useful and entertaining 2-2 draw away from home at Swansea City on the weekend which meant that The Tigers have now lost just once in their last five matches overall in the Championship which has helped lift Liam Rosenior's side up into eighth place in the English second tier standings while Rotherham United also picked up an important point by way of a 1-1 draw at home against Yorkshire rivals, Leeds United.

Hull's recent resurgence in form has been underlined by picking up recent wins against Birmingham City, Preston NE and Huddersfield Town respectively and having lost just three of their previous 16 games overall, Tuesday night's hosts look in good shape to further add to their points tally against a struggling Rotherham United outfit.

It's worth mentioning that two of Hull City's three defeats during this 16-match period were inflicted upon The Tigers away from home but results at home have proved how hard Rosenior has made his Hull side to be beaten on home soil at their MKM Stadium as they have been handed just two defeats in their previous 20 home games.

In addition, Hull City have kept 10 clean sheets in these last 20 matches at home as well.

Rotherham United returned to Championship action by securing a well-earned point in a 1-1 draw at home with Yorkshire rivals, Leeds United, and this performance will likely give The Millers renewed belief that they can climb out of the bottom three of the Championship table sooner rather than later.

However, even if Rotherham manage to take the spoils against Hull City, the visitors will still remain in the relegation zone as they trail fourth placed Huddersfield Town and safety by a four-point margin ahead of these midweek fixtures in the Championship.

The bigger picture shows Rotherham have managed to scrape together just two wins throughout this season's campaign to date, both of which were achieved on home soil at their AESSEAL New York Stadium with wins gained over Norwich City and Coventry City but the visitors have also slipped to nine defeats already within their 17 games played so far this term.

Having won both of their two games at home, it's therefore evident that The Millers have struggled on the road so far this season and this is exactly what has happened as Wayne Carlisle's side have still yet to register a win on the road in this campaign while losing seven of their eight outings on the road as well, therefore making this upcoming trip to the MKM Stadium another tough challenge.

Hull City v Rotherham United Verdict

Rotherham have also failed to score in five of their eight away games, so this gives Hull another great chance of securing the points in this clash.
