Doncaster Rovers form and stats

Doncaster Rovers have only collected 21 points from their away games in the League Two, after 5-6-10 (21 played).

Doncaster Rovers are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Harrogate Town (placed 21st). Drawing 2-2 against Harrogate Town after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Schofield needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Midfield player Molyneux was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.84/10. Molyneux scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.

A 1-2 loss hosting Grimsby Town before that.

Few goals the story here? 12 of this side's most recent 16 league fixtures have had zero, one or two goals.

A new game in only four days for Doncaster Rovers, the League Two home match versus Newport County. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Doncaster as they have only managed to score 18 times from 21 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Doncaster Rovers have conceded 32 goals in their away games.
