Crystal Palace News and Form
It was back in the 2011/12 Championship season that Crystal Palace and Doncaster last met. Palace suffered a 1-0 loss on their last trip to the Keepmoat. How will they be able to handle themselves in this tricky away tie? Palace haven’t exactly been in fantastic away form this season. While Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last four games home and away (that includes their upset in knocking out Spurs in the last round), they have lost seven of their last 11 away games.
Just once in their last six away games have Crystal Palace managed to put a clean sheet on the board. So if you put it all together along with the home form of Doncaster, this could be a tough afternoon for the Eagles. They have scored at least two goals in four of their last five away games, so that is a small positive for them. But then you have to look at the lack of clean sheets that they have taken to back up that scoring.
