Northampton are ready to welcome Rotherham United to Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 15 previous games, with the Cobblers winning just 5.
The previous match played between the two at Sixfields was more than three years back, in January 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a F.A. Cup match.
