Footymad preview History of the Bradford City v Rotherham United fixture

The Millers face a trip to Bradford City at Valley Parade on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground but more importantly gain three points in the race for automatic promotion.

However they 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.

Boss Steve Evans could name an unchanged defence despite having Claude Davis available for his Rotherham side.

Daniel Nardiello is the major injury doubt and is only rated as 50/50 after coming off injured at the weekend.

Bradford have doubts over winger Kyel Reid, who was forced off at half time in their draw with Chesterfield, and Andrew Davies who was injured during the warm up to the game.
