Sailing into this matchup on a breeze of confidence, Doncaster Rovers recently savored a 2-1 victory against Crewe Alexandra. Bradford City, on the other hand, might still be rubbing their heads after a 0-1 loss to Cheltenham Town, looking somewhat like they’d been bamboozled by a magician’s card trick.

Bradford might want to keep an eye on Gotts, the goal machine with 2 to his name this season, while Doncaster might be penning a special “Keep Off” sign for Bradford's Kavanagh, who’s been dishing out key assists like hot cakes.
