History of the Oxford United v Rotherham United fixture
Rotherham travel to take on Oxford United at The Kassam Stadium on Saturday afternoon with the Millers hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 5 and win only 2 of the 9 games in Oxfordshire.
The last time the two teams met at Oxford was back in March 2001 in the Millers promotion year at the old Manor Ground, as the U's edged it by a score of 4-3 in a League Division Two match.
