- Doncaster Rovers is in the worst form (0-1-5)
It's no vacation for neither Doncaster nor Burton Albion as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Doncaster Rovers form and stats
Doncaster Rovers have collected 37 points from their League One home games so far after 11-4-5. It's trouble wherever Doncaster are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Doncaster are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at The Keepmoat Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
The Doncaster fans got no joy from their last match, a League One game also here at The Keepmoat Stadium: A 1-4 defeat against Wigan Athletic (placed 21st). Heartbreak before that as Doncaster lost 1-2 at Bristol Rovers's place.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Doncaster have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won six, drawn two and lost seven.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Doncaster as they are travelling to their away game against Shrewsbury Town in the League One. That match is four days after this one.
Doncaster have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at The Keepmoat Stadium with 33 goals in 20 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Doncaster Rovers have conceded 24 goals.
Burton Albion form and stats
The visitors are W7-D7-L6 on the road this term. That's in the League One. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Lincoln City game have they lost an away game, meaning Burton Albion has taken points from nine away matches in a row.
It's the second away game in a row for Burton, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Portsmouth (placed 5th) in the League One last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Swindon Town.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Burton in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Burton Albion, five draws and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Burton are hosting Plymouth Argyle in the League One only four days away.
