Doncaster Rovers Preview – Can Donny cause a big upset on home soil?
Doncaster Rovers are moving closer and closer to EFL League Two. Donny have been pushing for promotion in recent years but have had a season to forget so far. They sit rock bottom on 19 points after five wins, four draws and 19 defeats.
Doncaster recently ended a five-game league losing streak with a shock 1-0 win at MK Dons. However, they were back to losing ways last weekend, crashing to a 3-1 home reverse to Plymouth Argyle.
Doncaster head into this one having lost nine of their past 11 League One matches. They are likely to fall to another damaging defeat in midweek.
Rotherham United Preview – Easy three points for the leaders?
Paul Warne’s Rotherham United moved to the top of the League One table after last weekend’s results. Both Wigan Athletic and Sunderland dropped points, so United’s 2-0 win at Crewe Alexandra was enough to take them to the summit.
Paul Warne’s men have been very consistent lately, losing just two League One matches since mid-September. After a disappointing 1-0 reverse at Fleetwood Town, Rotherham have bounced back with two priceless victories.

Rotherham have already beaten Doncaster twice this season. In the reverse league game at the New York Stadium, a Michael Smith brace was enough to give United a comfortable 2-0 victory. Rotherham then ran riot in a Football League Trophy game the next month, thumping Donny 6-0 at the Eco-Power Stadium. The Millers have won four of the last five meetings.
