Brentford face a trip to Rotherham United at Don Valley Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bees 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 less than a year ago, in April 2008, with Brentford inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the The Millers in a League Two match.
