Form: Doncaster vs Newport

Doncaster Form

Doncaster look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Grimsby, they were left empty-handed in a 1-2 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Morecambe in a 0-1 win. They followed that up with a 1-2 win against Accrington in their most recent outing.

They didn’t draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring ten goals while conceding seven.

Newport Form

Newport have been inconsistent in their last three matches. They claimed a 1-0 win against Carlisle, before drawing 0-0 with Bradford. This little streak came to an end, when Cheltenham proved too strong in a 0-3 defeat for Newport. Newport managed to win just once in their past six away games in the League Two. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring 11 time and letting in eight.
