History of the Rotherham United v Blackpool fixture

Rotherham U. prepare to entertain Blackpool at Millmoor Ground on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Millers are clearly on top, winning 53.33% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Millmoor Ground was just last season, in August 2005, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a League 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 10, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Blackpool's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Seasiders, and 6 goals against.

Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 38 games have yielded only 31 points. Blackpool's total of 62 points from their 38 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.
