Rotherham U. face a trip to Walsall at Bescot Stadium at lunchtime on Sunday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Merry Millers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2002, with Rotherham U. inflicting a narrow 3 - 4 defeat upon the Saddlers in a League Division One match.
