History of the Rotherham United v Bournemouth fixture

Bournemouth travel to take on Rotherham United at Millmoor Ground on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cherries will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 9 and win only 3 of the 15 games.

The last time the two teams met at Rotherham U. was just over four years ago, in March 2001, with Rotherham U. running out comfortable 3 - 1 winners in a League Division Two match.
