Norwich 5-0 Rotherham

Recent form

Norwich

Norwich City's recent form has been mixed, with a loss in their most recent game against Middlesbrough ending a run of three consecutive wins. Despite this setback, the Canaries have shown an ability to score goals, netting an impressive 13 times in their last six matches, including two high-scoring victories at home against Cardiff (4-1) and Watford (4-2). However, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding nine goals during the same period, resulting in an average of 3.67 total goals per game. Currently sitting in 7th place in the Championship, Norwich will be looking to bounce back from their defeat and maintain their push for a playoff spot.

Rotherham

Rotherham, currently sitting in 24th position in the Championship with 19 points from 36 games, are in a poor run of form. They have lost their last six matches, conceding 15 goals while scoring only 5 in the process. This gives them an average of 2.5 goals conceded per game and a goal difference of -10 over this period. Notably, there have been some high-scoring affairs, with 70% of their last 6 games seeing over 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in 50% of these matches. Rotherham's defensive woes are further highlighted by their inability to keep a clean sheet in any of their previous 6 games. Their most recent match, a 5-0 defeat to Coventry, particularly stands out as a one-sided affair.

Recent home/away form

Norwich
