Competition: England League One
Date: Sat 24.August
Match begins: 11:30 (UTC)
Venue: The Keepmoat Stadium (15231 seats)

The season is still fairly new and the League One table has to be read with caution. So far Doncaster Rovers find themselves in 12th position and Lincoln City are placed 2nd.

The visiting Lincoln City played their last game only four days ago, a League One match. That game was also an away game, at Milton Keynes Dons. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Milton Keynes Dons. There's been little rest and some travel, but Lincoln City will do their best.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Doncaster Rovers's two home games so far this season, having collected 4 points here at The Keepmoat Stadium.

Doncaster Rovers's previous game was a League One match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Fleetwood Town. The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Doncaster Rovers lost 0-1 at Grimsby Town's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Doncaster Rovers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Doncaster Rovers as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Doncaster Rovers has won 4 of these, drawn 5 and lost 3.

At The Keepmoat Stadium, Doncaster Rovers has the goal stats of 4-3 (for/against) from 2 fixtures.
