On Tuesday Dec 7th, Doncaster Rovers will play host to Oxford United in a meeting of these two League One teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 3 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Doncaster Rovers is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Burton Albion. Thomas O’Connor scored the first goal for Burton Albion in the 55th minute, then Daniel Jebbison added another in the 76th minute In the end, Doncaster Rovers couldn’t muster any offence and Burton Albion ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 8th placed Oxford United, recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Rotherham United. Neither Oxford United nor Rotherham United could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 9 and 14 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Oxford United should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches.

Oxford United’s top weapon lately has been Matty Taylor, who has two goals in the last five matches. Doncaster Rovers is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Joseph Olowu and Ryan Loft each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
