History of the Chesterfield v Rotherham United fixture

Rotherham face a trip to Chesterfield at Saltergate on Wednesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 21 out of 29 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2006, the Spireites carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Chesterfield have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Rotherham's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Millers have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 6 against.

Chesterfield's total of 30 points from their 16 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two. Rotherham are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola League Two, and have accumulated 33 points from the 17 games they have played so far.
