Rotherham's struggles away from home look set to continue when they head to Wales to face Swansea on Monday.
Swansea have concerns of their own with head coach Russell Martin firmly under the spotlight as positive results appear hard to come by.
Tuesday's loss to Stoke was their second in succession and fourth in their last five outings, while they've only picked up three wins since late October.
Rotherham boosted their hopes of beating relegation courtesy of a 2-1 win at home to Sunderland last time out, however, their woeful form on the road could see them come unstuck on Monday.
Swansea vs Rotherham Betting Tips
- Swansea to win and both teams to score @ 11/4
- Matt Grimes to be carded and Joel Piroe to score anytime @ 15/2
Team news
Swansea remain without goalkeeper Steven Benda, who is understood to be in negotiations over a new contract, due to the knee injury he sustained in the 1-1 draw with QPR in January.
The stopper won't feature again this season after undergoing surgery so Andy Fisher will continue to deputise, while midfielder Jamie Paterson is also a long-term absentee due to injury.
Martin opted to withdraw Harry Darling just 30 minutes into the 3-1 loss to Stoke last time out for tactical reasons and he could be set for a place on the bench.
Rotherham have several injury concerns of their own and boss Matt Taylor may have to switch things up in the heart of defence.
Grant Hall was forced off with an issue shortly before half time in the victory over Sunderland on Tuesday and Wes Harding, who came off the bench, will start if he fails to recover in time.
Midfielder Ben Wiles has revealed he's targeting a return from his ankle injury towards the end of the term, while Domingos Quina and Sean Morrison are also absent.
Latest Swansea vs Rotherham Betfred Odds
Swansea to win and both teams to score @ 11/4
Alarm bells aren't ringing with regard to relegation just yet for Swansea, due to their exploits earlier in the season, but picking up results at home is essential for Russell's men to ensure they don't keep sliding in the wrong direction.
They have only won two of their last seven at home but the visit of Rotherham, who have the third-worst away record in the division, should fill Swansea with optimism of earning all three points.
Rotherham have won just twice on their travels and they haven't tasted victory in any of their last seven, losing four and drawing three.
But they should be able to get on the scoresheet with Swansea's backline far from watertight.
Only Wigan have conceded more than Swansea's tally of 24 when hosting, leading to the feeling that chances will be afforded to the Millers.
Swansea to win 2-1 in the correct score market at 7/1 offers appeal.
Matt Grimes to be carded and Joel Piroe to score anytime @ 15/2 - #PickYourPunt
We've put together two selections using the #PickYourPunt tool and both involve Swansea players.
The first leg requires midfielder Matt Grimes, who has received seven yellow cards this term, to be booked.
Just Blackburn and Preston (both 78) have received more yellow cards than Swansea's tally of 75 and Grimes is among their biggest offenders.
The second leg of our bet builder relies on Swansea forward Joel Piroe to score anytime, something he's achieved on 11 occasions already.
The Dutchman bagged 22 in his debut campaign with the Welsh side and is their leading marksman this term.
