This could be an interesting match as Doncaster Rovers have their presumed home advantage while Lincoln City are ahead 9 points in the League One table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Doncaster and Lincoln City.
Doncaster Rovers form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Doncaster Rovers, who have the most scored goals (10) at home in League One, at their home stadium (The Keepmoat Stadium) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
The fans are hoping that Doncaster will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the League One game against Plymouth Argyle (placed 8th). Ahead of that match, Doncaster lost 1-2 at home to Crewe Alexandra.
This is expected to be a close game, with Doncaster Rovers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

The Lincoln City goalkeeper Alex Palmer is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 392 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Two travels in a row for Lincoln, whose manager M. Appleton could celebrate last time after the League One win against Crewe Alexandra. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Ipswich Town.

A new game in only three days for Lincoln, the League One home match versus Portsmouth. Busy days.
