Match Preview: Doncaster Rovers v Wrexham (Tuesday, 6.45pm)

Doncaster Rovers host Wrexham at the Eco-Power Stadium on late Tuesday on the back of four consecutive wins in League Two.

Doncaster have picked up 13 points from their last six games, and they face a Dragons side who have also won their last two matches, and collected the same number of points from the last possible 18.

With 72 goals in 40 games so far this season, Wrexham are scoring more than average in the league with 1.8 goals per game. And they are conceding fewer than average, letting in 48 goals at a rate of 1.2 per game.

Doncaster, meanwhile, are below average scorers, with 1.4 goals per game, compared to a league average of 1.5. They have conceded 1.6 goals per game.

The Dragons are third in the table after 40 games, of which they have won 21 and drawn 10, earning 73 points.

Rovers are 12 places behind the visitors in 15th, with 15 wins and seven draws putting them on 52 points.

In Arthur Okonkwo, Wrexham can rely on one of the league’s safest pair of hands. He has kept 12 clean sheets in his 30 appearances this season in League Two.

In the Rovers’ net, Louis Jones has four clean sheets in 19 games. He has conceded a goal every 61 minutes, 70% more often than the 106 minutes between goals for Okonkwo.

Doncaster’s last match was on Friday, a 2-0 win against Crawley Town, with Hakeem Adelakun and Maxime Biamou Ngapmou Yoke getting the goals for the Rovers.

Wrexham beat Mansfield Town 2-0 last time out, also on Friday, with Paul Philip Mullin on the scoresheet.

Tuesday’s match will be refereed by Charles Breakspear, who has taken charge of 10 League Two games so far this season, issuing two red cards and booking 43 players. He has awarded six penalties.

The last Wrexham game Breakspear refereed was the 5-5 draw at home against Swindon Town on August 19. He is yet to oversee a match featuring Doncaster this season.
