Rotherham face a trip to Macclesfield Town at Moss Rose on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. Three-quarters of the few games have ended in defeat for The Millers.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
