History of the Leeds United v Rotherham United fixture

Rotherham U. travel to take on Leeds United at Elland Road at lunchtime on Sunday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Millers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Leeds Utd. was amazingly over twenty years ago, in May 1983, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Second Division match.
