Salford City vs Doncaster Rovers

Salford City host Doncaster Rovers in an English League Two fixture, with both teams still in the mix for promotion.
 
The home side are pushing for the playoffs while the visitors have eyes on one of the automatic places. Both teams have shown some defensive vulnerability lately and there is enough attacking quality on display to ensure Tuesday’s clash produces goals. 

Salford City Form


Salford City head into this match off the back of  a 3-1 victory at Notts County in their previous League Two fixture, with two of the three goals coming in the second half. The win extends their unbeaten run to five matches and keeps them in the hunt for the promotion playoffs as they sit five points off the top seven.

That result follows a familiar pattern for Salford City, who are without a clean sheet in their last four League Two matches. However, Karl Robinson's men have scored in all four fixtures, with three of them producing over 2.5 goals.
 
One problem for Salford City ahead of this clash is their poor record at home having picked up just one win in their last eight League Two matches at the Peninsula Stadium. They are currently on a four-match winless run in front of their fans, playing out a 2-2 draw with Gillingham last time out. 

Doncaster Rovers Form


Sitting just one point off the top three, Doncaster Rovers still have ambitions of securing automatic promotion. However, their recent form has been a bit unconvincing, with two wins and three stalemates in the last five matches, playing out a 1-1 home draw with AFC Wimbledon in their previous fixture. 

Doncaster Rovers seem to do their best work on their travels and head to Salford unbeaten in four of their last five away matches. Grant McCann's team have picked up three wins in that run and claimed a 2-0 victory over Cheltenham Town in their previous fixture on the road.
 
One similarity with the hosts is that Doncaster Rovers also struggle to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in five of their last seven matches. However, they also have quality going forward, with four of their last five away goals coming after the break.
 

Head to Head


Salford City and Doncaster Rovers have picked up two wins each and as many draws in the last six matches. Both teams have met twice this season, with the visitors claiming a 2-0 away victory in the League Cup before a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in November.

Verdict

There are often goals in this fixture with both teams scoring in four of their last six meetings. With the last two fixtures at the Peninsula Stadium producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat can be considered on Tuesday.

Salford City and Doncaster Rovers often find their range after the break with the goals in the reverse fixture coming in the second half. A similar outcome is on the cards here.
