History of the Millwall v Rotherham United fixture

Rotherham U. face a trip to Millwall at The Den on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Merry Millers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 7 and win only 2 of the 12 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2002, where Rotherham U. annihilated the Merry Millers 0 - 6 in a League Division One match.
