Shrewsbury Town form and stats

5-7-6 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Shrewsbury Town so far this season.

0-0 away at Gillingham before that.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Wigan Athletic are coming to town in three days.

The Shrewsbury fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 18 matches. Shrewsbury have conceded 23 in these home matches.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

6 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses. That’s the product of Doncaster Rovers playing as the away team in the League One this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Doncaster who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Gillingham was the last time a defeat was avoided. Doncaster has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Wigan Athletic.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Doncaster manager A. Butler as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Accrington Stanley.

Doncaster Rovers have scored 22 goals on their travels this season, from 18 away games in the league. Doncaster's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 28 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Doncaster Rovers - Shrewsbury 0-1 entered in the official records. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Shrewsbury Town, two draws and three wins for Doncaster Rovers. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
