History of the Rotherham United v Watford fixture

Watford face a trip to Rotherham United at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 10 games played, Hornets have recorded 2 wins, and Rotherham U. have come away with 5 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2002, the Merry Millers carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Rotherham United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Merry Millers have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Watford's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Hornets have hit 7 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Rotherham U. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 49 points from their 42 matches. Watford find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 50 points from their 41 matches.
