Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Doncaster Rovers will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run when they face Crawley Town on Matchday 11. The Donny suffered a dip in form, but the bookies still see them as favourites to beat the Red Devils on home soil. Midfielder Harrison Biggins is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the 1-0 loss to Swindon.
Crawley Town, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Crewe. The Red Devils have been anything but impressive on the travels this season, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. You should bear in mind that Doncaster are undefeated in the previous five meetings with Crawley Town in all competitions. There are no fresh selection worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Tom Anderson):
Known for his heading and no-nonsense defending, the 1.92 m tall center back, is an English footballer who plays for Doncaster Rovers in the third tier of English Football. Anderson was born in Burnley, on the 2nd of September, 1993. He joined Burnley's youth academy at the age of seven and went on to sign his first professional contract with the club in May 2012. The club then sent him out on loan to Conference Premier Club Barrow, where he made his first professional appearance on the 11th of August,2011, in a 0-0 draw against Telford United.

On the 31st of January, 2018, Anderson joined his current club Doncaster Rovers initially on a year's loan before signing a two-year contract with the club in May.
