Rotherham U. prepare to entertain Sheffield United at Millmoor Ground on Saturday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 3 of the 15 games played, and losing 8.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Millmoor Ground was less than a year ago, in March 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Rotherham United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Millers have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Sheff. Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The Blades's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 11 goals for and 10 against.
Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 22 games have yielded only 11 points. Sheff. Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 35 from their 22 games so far.

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