History of the Rotherham United v Bradford City fixture

Bradford City face a trip to Rotherham United at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bantams will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 7 of the 30 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2007, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a League One match.
