Doncaster set to move into play-off spots with a win over the Pirates
3137

On Tuesday night, Doncaster Rovers host Bristol Rovers at the Keepmoat Stadium, as the home side looks to return to League One’s play-off spots.

A poor recent run of league form has seen Rovers slip out of the play-off spots. However, they are just a point outside the top six.

The team from Yorkshire have now failed to win in seven league outings, drawing four and losing three matches in the process. Last time out, Grant McCann’s side suffered a 4-0 hammering at league leaders Luton Town.

The defeat against the leaders ended a low scoring trend to Rovers recent league outings, as their previous six outings had produced under 2.5 goals.

Doncaster are unbeaten in ten home games in the league at the Keepmoat Stadium. However, a run of three draws in their last five home outings has hampered Rovers chances of promotion. Rovers have been prolific on home soil in Ligue 1, scoring at least two goals in eight of their last ten matches.

Bristol Rovers are just three points above the relegation zone in a congested section of the League One table. Despite their relative perilous position in the table, the visitors have lost just once in ten league games. The Pirates are also unbeaten in their last five league matches.

A key to their recent solid run of form has been their defensive displays, as Rovers have kept clean sheets in four of their last five league outings. Their improved defensive displays have led to three of their last four league matches producing under 2.5 goals.

Rovers recent away record in Ligue 1 is impressive, as the Pirates are unbeaten in eight matches on their travels, having recorded five wins in the process.

Forebet predicts that the visitors recent good away record will end with the home side recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
