Rotherham U. prepare to entertain Wigan Athletic at Millmoor Ground on Saturday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 4 of the 11 previous games, with the The Millers winning just 3.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Millmoor Ground was just last season, in August 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a League Division One match.
