Fleetwood Town and Doncaster Rovers have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the League One.

It's no vacation for neither Fleetwood Town nor Doncaster Rovers as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Fleetwood Town form and stats

Fleetwood Town have collected 27 points from their League One home games so far after 7-6-1. The home supporters have been following results with a growing disbelief as Fleetwood Town has racked up an amazing five draws in a row here at their own stadium. How long will this continue? The last three games played by Fleetwood Town, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 183 minutes without scoring a league goal. P. Coutts was the last player to find the net. The Fleetwood Town goalkeeper Alex Cairns is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 189 minutes without conceding a goal in the League One.

The spoils were shared in Fleetwood Town's previous game, also at home. Visiting Coventry City (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Bristol Rovers that finished 0-0.

Fleetwood Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 14 games. From these home matches, Fleetwood Town have conceded only 11 goals.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

3-4-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Doncaster Rovers in their League One matches away.

The supporters enjoyed Doncaster Rovers's previous game versus Southend United (placed 22nd), a League One 3-1 win played at home. A 0-0 draw at Sunderland's stadium before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Doncaster Rovers manager D. Moore as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Tranmere Rovers.

The travelling fans enjoy Doncaster Rovers's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 10 league matches away. Doncaster Rovers are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 10 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
