Millers Look to Build on Bristol Rovers Victory
Rotherham United return to home turf Tuesday night looking to string together consecutive wins for the first time in what feels like ages. The Millers are coming off a gutsy 3-2 away win at Bristol Rovers that might just be the spark Steve Evans' men needed.It hasn't been smooth sailing for Rotherham lately. Just 3 wins from their last 10 outings? Not exactly championship form, is it? But their home record gives fans a bit of hope – they've won 2 of their last 5 at home, including a goal-fest 4-2 victory over Charlton back in January.Evans will be drilling into his players the importance of tightening up at the back. They've leaked 17 goals in their last 10 games. That's way too many if you're hoping to climb the table. But hey, at least they're finding the net themselves with 14 scored during that stretch.

Orient's Jekyll and Hyde Form
Talk about a team that keeps you guessing! Leyton Orient arrive with the definition of patchy form – 5 wins and 5 losses in their last 10 matches. Flip a coin much?What's impressive is that Richie Wellens' side can definitely score goals. They've banged in 19 in their last 10 games, including that crazy 6-2 hammering of Exeter back in January. Six away goals in one match? That's not something you see every weekend!Their away form is interesting too. Two wins and two losses from their last four road trips. And they're coming off a confidence-boosting 2-1 away win at Wrexham. Trust me, getting three points at the Racecourse Ground isn't easy for anyone in League One.
Head-to-Head Battle to Watch
This match has all the makings of an entertaining tussle. Both teams have shown they know where the net is – Orient with 19 goals in their last 10 and the Millers with 14.The big question is which Orient shows up. The one that smashed Exeter for six? Or the side that's lost half their recent matches?For Rotherham, home advantage could be crucial. Their New York Stadium hasn't been a fortress lately, but they've shown they can turn it on there occasionally. Remember that 4-2 win against Charlton?The bookies have Rotherham slight favorites at 37.5% chance of winning, with Orient at 32.3% and the draw at 30.2%. Sounds about right given how unpredictable these teams have been.

Recent Form Suggests Goals
If you're a fan of defensive masterclasses, you might want to watch something else on Tuesday night. Both these teams have been leaking goals.Rotherham have conceded in 9 of their last 10 matches. Not great, right? Orient aren't much better, letting in 14 during the same period.But the flip side is we should see some action at both ends. Orient have been on a scoring streak with 19 goals in 10 games – nearly 2 per match on average. That February run was particularly impressive – wins against Reading, Mansfield, Lincoln and Wrexham with 10 goals scored.The last time Rotherham played at home they lost 1-2 to Shrewsbury, but they've had time to regroup since then. That recent 3-2 win at Bristol Rovers shows they've got goals in them too.Whether it's a seven-goal thriller like Rotherham's Charlton game or another Orient goal-fest, Tuesday night under the lights should be worth watching!
