Bradford City face a trip to Rotherham United at Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bantams 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 November 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Two match.
