With the 1-3 home defeat at the hands of Stoke City in the previous round, Swansea City suffered their second consecutive defeat in the Championship. The Swans have lost five of their eight matches prior to this game and have dropped down the league table to the 12th position.
Swansea City have conceded an average of 1.52 goals per game since the beginning of the season in the league. Swansea City form stats indicate an average number of goals conceded per game of 2.00 in the last 8 league matches, which is 31.6% higher than their current season’s average.
Rotherham
With the 2-1 home win against Sunderland, Rotherham United went back to winning ways after 5 winless matches in the league. The Millers are now five points above the relegation zone.

Despite the fact that Swansea’s form saw a dip in recent weeks, the bookmakers are still favoring them to emerge as winners of this game. Similarly, the stats are showing a much better possibility for a home win. Hence, considering these two facts, we will back Swansea to snatch full marks.
