Match Facts
This is Southampton and Rotherham’s first league meeting since March 1966, a 1-1 draw. On home soil, the Saints have won six of eight games against the Millers (D1 L1), between 1952 and 1966.
In any competition, the last meeting between Rotherham and Southampton was in September 2008 in a League Cup clash – the Millers won 3-1.
Following their 3-1 win over Leeds, Southampton could record successive home league victories for the first time since February 2022 in the Premier League beating both Everton and Norwich 2-0.
Rotherham have lost all five of their Championship away games this season; only in 2016-17 (first 7) and 2018-19 (6) have the Millers ever lost each of their opening six away matches in a Football League campaign, both seasons in which they were relegated from the Championship.
After wins over Leeds and Stoke, Southampton could win three consecutive league games for the first time since November 2020 under Ralph Hasenhüttl.
