History of the Torquay United v Doncaster Rovers fixture

Doncaster Rvs. face a trip to Torquay United at Plainmoor on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 6 of the 29 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2004, the Gulls carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Torquay United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Gulls have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Doncaster Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The Rovers's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

Torquay Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 29 matches. Doncaster Rvs.'s 44 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
