Doncaster Rovers

LLLDLW

Doncaster Rovers will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 2-0 EFL Trophy victory over Everton U23s.

For Doncaster Rovers, the scorers were Louie Marsh (57') and Harrison Biggins (81').

At least three goals per game have been seen in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Doncaster Rovers have taken part. Opposing sides scored 10 of them in this period while Doncaster Rovers bagged a total of 6.

Coming into this fixture, Doncaster Rovers have not won at home in their last 4 matches in the league. Fans are getting restless.

Gillingham

LLLWWW 📈

Gillingham come into this meeting following on from a 2-1 League Two win in the defeat of Morecambe in their last game.

For Gillingham, the scorers were George Lapslie (9') and Connor Mahoney (23'). Michael Mellon (11') scored for Morecambe.

The numbers tell their own story, and Gillingham have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 10 goals in total. In defence, Gillingham have seen their frailties exposed. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained here, of course.

🤜🤛 Head to head

🗞️ Team News: Doncaster Rovers

The Doncaster Rovers manager Grant McCann will be grateful to have no fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash owing to a fully injury-free squad to choose from.

In our view, The Rovers will probably make use of the 5-3-2 system for this game with Louis Jones, Owen Bailey, Joseph Olowu, Thomas Anderson, Tom Nixon, Luke Molyneux, Ben Close, Harrison Biggins, Zain Westbrooke, Mo Faal and Louie Marsh.

📰 Team News: Gillingham

With a fully injury-free group available for selection, the Gillingham manager Neil Harris doesn’t have any fitness concerns at all before this clash.

We are inclined to think that The Gills could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Jake Turner, Cheye Alexander, Conor Masterson, Shadrach Ogie, Scott Malone, Max Ehmer, Ethan Coleman, Tom Nichols, Shaun Williams, Connor Mahoney and Macauley Bonne.

✨ Prediction

In our view, Doncaster Rovers will need to put in a solid display to break down this Gillingham lineup who we think should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We’re therefore seeing a very even contest with a 0-1 advantage for Gillingham at the end of the 90.

Should be an interesting one.
