History of the Rotherham United v Queens Park Rangers fixture

Q.P.R. travel to take on Rotherham United at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rangers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them with only a 20.00% success rate in the fixture.

The last time the two teams met at Rotherham U. was amazingly over twenty years ago, in November 1982, when they played out a goalless draw in a Second Division 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. The Millers have conceded a disappointing 11 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Rangers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 5 goals for and 4 against.

Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 38 games have yielded only 25 points. Q.P.R.'s 53 points from 37 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
