The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Oldham Athletic have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

Doncaster Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in the last six, but with four of them resulting in draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Rovers, and 4 goals against.

Oldham Ath. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 20 points from their 17 matches. Doncaster Rvs. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 27 from their 18 games so far.
