History of the Doncaster Rovers v Oldham Athletic fixture

Doncaster Rvs. prepare to entertain Oldham Athletic at Keepmoat Stadium on Monday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 1 of the 16 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 8.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Keepmoat Stadium was earlier this season, with Oldham Ath. inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Rovers in a F.A. Cup match.
