History of the Doncaster Rovers v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Doncaster Rvs. prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Keepmoat Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rovers are clearly on top, winning 21 and drawing 12 of the 36 games played.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Keepmoat Stadium was just last season, in August 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
