Doncaster Rovers form and stats

Doncaster Rovers's struggle is real here at The Keepmoat Stadium with only 18 points collected from 20 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 5-3-12. The Doncaster manager McSheffrey might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Rowe was the last player to score a league goal for Doncaster Rovers and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Doncaster Rovers haven't scored in 474 minutes.

Doncaster Rovers are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Wycombe Wanderers. Midfielder Bostock was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.8 (out of ten) in that game. Bostock hit four key passes and had 84 successful passes (of 90 total).

Crewe Alexandra form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Crewe Alexandra so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-15 (win-draw-lose). Football is a nightmare at the moment for Crewe Alexandra who have suffered through a seven match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.

Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Fleetwood Town.
