History of the Rotherham United v Bournemouth fixture

Rotherham U. prepare to entertain Bournemouth at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Millers are clearly on top, having won 10 and lost only 3 of the 16 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Millmoor Ground was just last season, in February 2006, with Rotherham U. running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Rotherham United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Millers have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Bournemouth's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Cherries have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Rotherham U. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 34 points from their 39 games thus far. Bournemouth find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 46 points from their 39 matches.
