History of the Rotherham United v Peterborough United fixture

Rotherham U. play host to Peterborough United at Millmoor Ground on Sunday afternoon, hoping to improve on a record of draws against their opponents.

The last time the two teams met at Rotherham U. was back in November 2000, over five years ago, with Rotherham U. running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a League Division Two 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 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterborough's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Posh, and 7 goals against.

Rotherham U. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 1 points from their 1 matches. Peterborough are currently occupying 2nd spot in their division, gaining 3 points from their 1 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for The Millers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Posh come away with an easy victory. Away win
