Rotherham United make the short trip to the Keepmoat Stadium to take on Doncaster Rovers for their next league game.
The Millers were last in Doncaster for a league game in September 2019 when a thirty-seventh Jake Hastie goal gave the visitors the lead. James Coppinger equalised on the sixty-sixth minute and just before the end of the game Niall Ennis won a spot-kick which was scored by Ben Whiteman to give the hosts a two-one win.
November 2017 saw Rotherham at the Keepmoat when it looked like a Richard Wood own goal was going to give the hosts the win but with Rovers substitutes taking their time going off plus a few home players getting late ‘injuries’ the referee added a lot of injury time on which saw Kieffer Moore get a point for the Millers on the ninety-sixth minute of the game.
A first league game before at The Keepmoat was in January 2007 in League One. Richie Partridge gave the visitors the lead on ten minutes but two minutes later Paul Heffernan equalised. Two minutes into the second half Graeme Lee put Rovers in front with Heffernan getting his second and the hosts third just before the hour mark. A goal on seventy-one minutes from Martin Woods made it three-two which is how the game ended.
The last time the Millers beat Rovers at their old Belle Vue ground was a cold Friday evening back in December 1997 An own goal by Ian Gore gave the visitors a half-time lead with further goals coming in the second half from Lee Glover and Scott Taylor.
There have been a few goals scored between the teams in the past but the biggest margin that Rotherham won at Belle Vue was in February 1955. Jack Grainger scored twice and goals from Gladstone Guest and youngster Anthony Reeson saw the Millers get a four-nil victory.
And the first time out at Belle Vue saw loanee John Pearson from Leeds get the only goal of the game for Rotherham County.
Rotherham and Doncaster have already met at the Keepmoat this season in the Papa John’s Trophy which was a six-nil win for the Millers goals coming from Mickel Miller, Freddie Ladapo, Will Grigg, Jake Hull and Joe Mattock plus an own goal from Louis Jones.
