Walsall face a trip to Rotherham United at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saddlers 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 less than a year ago, in March 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division One match.
