History of the Oxford United v Rotherham United fixture
Rotherham United face a trip to Oxford United at Kassam Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes. The Millers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 7 and win only 2 of the 11 games played in Oxfordshire.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Kassam Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2012, with the U's carving out a narrow 2-1 victory.
The reverse fixture earlier this season saw the Millers win 3-1 after coming from behind.
