Doncaster Rvs. prepare to entertain Bournemouth at Earth Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 1 of the 15 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 7.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Earth Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2005, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a League One match.
