Rotherham U. play host to Chester City at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Millers are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 7 of the 33 games.

The last time the two teams met at Rotherham U. was back in August 1999, over five years ago, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a League Division Three match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Rotherham U. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Millers will at least gain a draw. Score draw

Rotherham U.13 games since last home draw.
Chester City9 games since last away draw.
5 games since last defeat.
