Crucial face-off in the bottom part of the League One, with both Doncaster Rovers and Morecambe feeling more concern than happiness. This fixture is a classic "six-pointer" with the hosts at 24th and the away side in 18th place.
- Doncaster Rovers is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Morecambe have yet to win a game away.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the EFL Trophy.

Two League One home games so far for Doncaster Rovers, who are yet to win here at The Keepmoat Stadium. Only 1 point so far.

Morecambe form and stats
Still no away game victory in the League One for Morecambe with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
Morecambe might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Everton U21 proved too strong as Morecambe slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Globe Arena.
Preceding that, the 3-4 home loss versus AFC Wimbledon.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Morecambe playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Morecambe wins, one draw and six defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Morecambe manager S. Robinson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Crewe Alexandra.
3 goals so far away for Morecambe, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Doncaster one win, one draw and Morecambe zero victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Top Goalscorers
