On the 19th of February, Doncaster Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday will play a match in Doncaster in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched League One teams.

In their last match they recorded a 0-2 loss against Rotherham United. Freddie Ladapo scored the first goal for Rotherham United in the 59th minute, then Michael Smith added another in the 84th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Sheffield Wednesday couldn’t manage to score, and Rotherham United took the shutout win.

In their last match together, in Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield Wednesday was victorious by a score of 2 to 0. Barry Bannan scored the first goal for Sheffield Wednesday in the 72nd minute, then Dennis Adeniran added another in the 75th minute In the end, Doncaster Rovers was frustrated by Sheffield Wednesday’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board.
