Doncaster v Gillingham

Doncaster vs Gillingham Preview

Doncaster Rovers have had to dust themselves off and get back to business in League Two after suffering the agony of a loss on penalties in last season's play-off semi-final against Crewe Alexandra but the hosts have made a good start to this new term as they have won three of their opening four games, while Gillingham have also produced an encouraging start to this new season as they have put together a four-match unbeaten sequence.

Doncaster Rovers have collected wins against Accrington Stanley, Morecambe and Port Vale so far in this season's new campaign along with having lost away from home at Newport County 3-1, but the hosts return to their Eco-Power Stadium for Saturday's clash against Gillingham in confident mood.

Despite being dealt a 3-1 loss in Wales, two of Doncaster's three wins to date this term have been recorded on home soil, while the bigger picture shows Donny have lost just twice in their last 18 matches overall in the English fourth tier along with picking up 14 wins in the process, so Grant McCann's side will be eyeing off another three points this Saturday.

Results and form at home have also been impressive as Doncaster Rovers have won 10 out of their last 11 home games in League Two.

Gillingham finished last season in a mid-table position of 12th place as results towards the end of last season really tailed off with The Gills picking up just two wins in their final 11 league matches of the campaign.

Rare victories were gained over Morecambe and Barrow while also being handed five defeats as well, but the Kent club have produced a much better start to this new campaign as the visitors bring a four-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming clash.

Wins registered against Carlisle United, Morecambe and Chesterfield along with a point gained in a draw away from home at Fleetwood Town will give Gillingham renewed optimism that they can gain a result on the road at Doncaster Rovers this weekend.

However, despite their encouraging start to this season, The Gills have only managed to capture just five wins within their previous 15 league matches overall and this set of results also include being handed five defeats as well.

Results away from home have also suffered as Gillingham have recorded just two wins in their last eight outings on the road whilst also succumbing to five defeats as well, which does not bode well for this upcoming trip to the Eco-Power Stadium.
