Recent respective form guides

Doncaster Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 in the wrong end.

West Brom.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The The Baggies's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Doncaster Rvs.'s 55 points from 42 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. West Brom. are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola Championship, and have accumulated 83 points from the 42 games they have played so far.
