Rotherham United’s next game sees them travel to Lancashire to take on Preston North End.
February 2021 was the last time the pair met at Preston where a Joe Rafferty own goal in the first minute gave the Millers the lead. Against run of play Ben Wiles doubled Rotherham’s lead on fifty-five minutes with the hosts pulling one back on sixty-five minutes through Ched Evans.
The pair also met at Preston in October 2018 which saw them get a point apiece. Tom Barkhuizen gave the hosts the lead five minutes from the end of the first half but the Millers came out fighting in the second half and a fierce shot from Michael Smith earned them their fifth draw in six games.
Both teams got a point again at Deepdale which in April 2017. Richie Smallwood put the Millers in front on nine minutes but Stevie May equalised four minutes before half-time to make it one-all.
January 2016 when the pair met in Preston saw an Anthony Andreu goal put the Millers in front on thirty-five minutes. But an Eoin Doyle goal in the second half and an unfortunate own goal in the final minute of the game from Jonson Clarke-Harris gave the hosts a two-one win. The only yellow of the game was shown to Rotherham’s Joe Newell.
The time before that when the sides met at Deepdale was for the League One Play-Off semi-final in May 2014.The game that evening saw the teams draw one-all after Alex Revell had put the visitors in front on twenty-one minutes. Joe Garner equalised four minutes into the second half. The League game earlier in the season in February was also a drawn game which saw six goals. Lee Frecklington opened the scoring for the Millers on seven minutes with an own goal from Tom Clarke four minutes later giving them a two-nil lead before Craig Davies halved the deficit going into half-time. Paul Gallagher scored the equaliser on the hour mark and five minutes later Preston took the lead for the first time in the game from a Joe Garner goal. With it looking like the Millers would be going back to Yorkshire with nothing up popped Frecklington again in the last minute of the match to rescue a point.
Boxing Day 2002 was the last time Rotherham beat Preston on their home territory. Mark Robins and Richie Barker gave the Millers a two-nil win with both goals being scored in the second half.
The game in November at the New York Stadium was a win for the hosts. Richard Wood put the Millers in front eight minutes into the second half but a Ryan Ledson goal ten minutes from town saw Preston equalise. A Matt Crooks goal four minutes later saw Preston lose their unbeaten away record and the Millers get all three points.
