Match Preview
As Doncaster Rovers prepare to host Rotherham United at The Keepmoat Stadium, both teams come into this League One clash with contrasting recent form. Doncaster, having secured three wins in their last five outings, will look to maintain their momentum. In contrast, Rotherham's form has been less consistent, with two wins but also three losses in their last five matches. Historically, this fixture has been closely contested, with Doncaster winning five of the last ten encounters, while Rotherham has managed just one victory. A key angle to consider is the attacking prowess of both sides, as evidenced by their recent matches. Six of the last ten meetings have seen over 2.5 goals, and both teams have scored in six of those encounters. With Doncaster's home advantage and Rotherham's need to bounce back from inconsistent performances, this match promises to be an engaging affair.
