History of the Doncaster Rovers v Watford fixture

Doncaster Rvs. prepare to entertain Watford at Keepmoat Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 2.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Keepmoat Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2009, with Watford inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Rovers in a Championship match.
