Odds: 7/1 odds taken 1245 GMT, Friday 28 January
Gary McSheffrey’s Doncaster Rovers and Steven Schumacher’s Plymouth Argyle go head-to-head this Saturday in EFL League One action at the Eco-Power Stadium. Donny are rock bottom of the third-tier table after picking up just five wins thus far. In contrast, the Pilgrims are only two points behind the final play-off spot in seventh. However, Argyle have gone off the boil in recent months. Both teams will be desperate for all three points from this League One affair.

Doncaster Rovers Preview – Will Donny build on MK Dons victory?
Doncaster Rovers had a dreadful first half to their season under Richie Wellens, who was sacked in early December. Gary McSheffrey took over at the end of 2021. Overall, Rovers have won five, drawn four and lost 18.
Doncaster picked up a 3-2 home victory over Cheltenham Town in October and went on to lose just one of the following five. However, since then, the South Yorkshire outfit have lost eight of ten in League One to drop to the foot.
Donny stopped a run of five straight league defeats with a crucial win at MK Dons last time out, with Joe Dodoo scoring the only goal of the game. Can they follow that up with a positive result in this one?
Plymouth Argyle Preview – Can the Pilgrims secure a first league win in four?
Since Ryan Lowe left for Preston North End and Steven Schumacher took over, Plymouth Argyle have had a mixed bag of results. Under their new boss, the Pilgrims have won two, drawn two and lost three of seven League One fixtures.
After back-to-back wins over Charlton Athletic and Cheltenham to finish off 2021 in style, Plymouth have started the new year with two defeats and a draw from three in the league. On Tuesday, they shipped two late goals to draw 3-3 with Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium.
