Recent respective form guides

Cambridge United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The U's's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Doncaster's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Rovers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 7 against.

Camb. Utd's 14 points from 10 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Doncaster lie just outside the playoff positions in the Nationwide League Division Three, picking up 15 from their 10 games so far.
