Rotherham U. prepare to entertain Sunderland at Millmoor Ground on Monday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 11 previous games, with the The Millers winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Millmoor Ground was less than a year ago, in December 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners 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 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Sunderland's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Black Cats, and 2 goals against.
Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 5 points. Sunderland lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 22 from their 14 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 Black Cats come away with an easy victory. Away win
