[BFC SITE] Match Preview: Rotherham United (a)

It's back-to-back Yorkshire derbies for the Reds, as Darrell Clarke's men prepare to face Rotherham United in a lunchtime kick-off in Sky Bet League One at the AESSEAL New York Stadium.


The reverse fixture saw victory for Barnsley at Oakwell against the Millers, Jon Russell's instinctive finish rounded off by a superb Stephen Humphrys strike back in November.

Both teams come into the fixture struggling for form, tomorrow's hosts winless in five, and the Reds going to the New York going six games without tasting victory.

However, S60 is a happy hunting ground in recent visits for the Reds, unbeaten against the Millers since 1982. Our last fixture at tomorrow's venue came in December 2020, as Valérien Ismaël's Reds ran out 2-1 winners thanks to goals by Cauley Woodrow and Alex Mowatt.

HOW TO WATCH


Saturday's lunchtime fixture will be available to watch in the UK on Sky Sports +.

The Reds will be providing audio commentary on iFollow Barnsley, available here.
