Crawley Town form and stats

The story so far in the League Two for Crawley Town at their home stadium (Broadfield Stadium) is 7 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats.

Crawley enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at AFC Wimbledon (after extra-time)'s place. The match ended 1-0 with Nadesan scoring. Nadesan, a striker, was the declared top player for the team in that match, collecting a rating of 7.23 (out of 10). Nadesan scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match, Crawley Town won a home game hosting Harrogate Town (after extra-time) (3-1).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Crawley Town as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Rochdale are visiting.

A decent goal production from Crawley in their home games so far, with 25 goals from 16 league matches. Crawley Town have conceded 27 from these games.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

5-4-9 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Doncaster Rovers in their League Two matches away.

There might be some fixture complaints from Doncaster as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-3 against Salford City (after extra-time). Attacker Miller got a player rating of 7.32 in the game. "Man of the match" Miller scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Before that, Doncaster Rovers secured a home win against AFC Wimbledon (after extra-time) with the score 2-1.

A tale of few goals? 8 of this club's latest 10 league rounds have seen zero, one or two goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Doncaster are hosting Northampton Town in the League Two only four days away.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Doncaster Rovers have conceded 28 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
