Match Stats

Doncaster Rovers:

Doncaster Rovers will kick off their EFL Trophy Group F campaign against Huddersfield Town on Tuesday evening, aiming to build on a strong start to their League Two season. Doncaster has been in impressive form, securing three wins from their first four league matches. Their latest victory came with a 3-2 win over Port Vale, featuring goals from Billy Sharp and a double from Luke Molyneux. Under the guidance of Grant McCann, Rovers currently sit fifth in the League Two table with nine points. Their sole defeat so far was a slip-up against Newport. After a remarkable 10-game winning streak at the end of last season, which unfortunately ended with a playoff semi-final loss to Crewe Alexandra, Doncaster is determined to secure automatic promotion this year. In cup competitions, they have already had a taste of success by beating Salford City in the EFL Cup first round before a defeat to Everton. They will now look to continue their good form in the EFL Trophy.


Huddersfield Town:

Huddersfield Town will look to bounce back from a recent setback as they begin their EFL Trophy campaign against Doncaster Rovers. The Terriers had an impressive start to their League One season with three consecutive wins, but their perfect run was halted by a 2-1 defeat to Rotherham on Saturday. The match was challenging for Huddersfield, with Danny Ward’s red card and a last-minute goal from Rotherham adding to their troubles. Despite this, Michael Duff’s side remains focused on their goal of an immediate return to the Championship. Huddersfield also made a strong start in the EFL Cup by defeating Morecambe, though their progress was cut short by a 3-2 defeat to Walsall in the second round. As they enter their EFL Trophy campaign, Huddersfield will face a Yorkshire derby against Doncaster and will also compete in a group that includes Barnsley and Manchester United Under-21s. After their recent loss, Huddersfield will be keen to get back on track and show their quality in the trophy.


Prediction:  2-3
