Doncaster Rovers form and stats

Doncaster Rovers have played 8 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-2 (wins-draws-losses). When Doncaster Rovers hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Sunderland, Rotherham United, Plymouth Argyle, Wigan Athletic, Milton Keynes Dons, Wycombe Wanderers and Sheffield Wednesday), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Doncaster have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 315 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Olowu was the last player to find the net.

Doncaster's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Mansfield Town.

Heartbreak before that as Doncaster lost 0-2 at Crewe Alexandra's place.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Shrewsbury Town are coming to town in four days.

The Doncaster fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Doncaster have conceded 8 goals.

Oxford United form and stats

2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Oxford United playing as the away team in the League One this season. Visiting Oxford has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

A draw for Oxford United before that, at their own venue hosting Rotherham United (0-0).

Oxford have another match away in just four days, a League One game vs Milton Keynes Dons. A rough calendar for them!

Oxford United find the net regularly in their away games. 9 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Oxford have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
