Swindon Town's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Robins have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Rotherham United's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. Those games have seen the The Millers pummel 17 goals, and let in 7.

Swindon Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 5 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Robins at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Millers come away with an easy victory. Away win
