Rovers have one of the strongest squads in Division 1 and are finally fulfilling their potential.
After a slow start to the campaign, they brought in Sean O'Driscoll as manager and he has masterminded their climb up the table. They now stand just 3 points off a playoff spot and 9 points off the league leaders, Scunthorpe, who visit the Keepmoat Stadium today, with 2 games in hand.
Rovers have won 8 of their last 9, scoring 18 goals and keeping 8 clean sheets. There is incredible competition for places at the moment, several long term injured players have all returned to fitness together, lightning fast Jonathan Forte, has extended his loan period until the end of the season and Gareth Roberts returns after a ban.
The visitors have drawn their last 3 and have problems today. Top scorer Billy Sharp and Cliff Byrne are suspended and two other regulars are injured, three of these would be amongst the first names on the teamsheet and will be sorely missed. They have taken striker, Jermaine Beckford, on loan from Leeds United and he is likely to start this afternoon.
I will side with Rovers to close the gap, at the top of a very congested, League 1.
4 points Doncaster Rovers -1/2 ball 2.14 Betfair.
Good Luck.
