Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Walsall & Doncaster Rovers face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

Walsall form and stats

Walsall participated in Carabao Cup the last season, where they reached the 1st round.

We have seen two home losses in a row now for Walsall, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Stress levels are on the rise for Walsall's attacking players as they have now played 337 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Gordon was their last goal scorer.

The fans are hoping that Walsall will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the League Two game against Tranmere Rovers. Defender Ash Taylor got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.61/10. Taylor won 14 of 16 duels.

0-0 away at Carlisle United before that.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Walsall as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Forest Green Rovers are visiting.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

Doncaster was sent out of Carabao Cup in the 1st round last season.

Recent form does not give Doncaster Rovers much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Walsall will be a tough nut to crack.

Home advantage was not enough for Doncaster Rovers in their previous game, as they lost their League One-match, hosting AFC Wimbledon, 1-2. Midfielder Ben Close was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.41. Close hit three key passes and had 39 successful passes (of 46 total).

Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Peterborough United.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Sheffield Wednesday.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: seven - zero - three (Walsall wins - draws - Doncaster Rovers wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
