Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Eco-Power Stadium will host Monday’s football game between Doncaster Rovers and Grimsby Town, the two mid-table sides. The Donny extended their losing run to three games at Gillingham, with the Gills ruining their playoffs hopes. Since Danny Schofield have been struggling in front of goal of late, home win should not be considered. All Agard, Ravenhill, and Brown are pushing for a start Schofield should opt to make changes to the team that faced Gillingham on Friday.
The Mariners, meanwhile, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Bradford City and Hartlepool. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the horizon as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment. As for the visiting side, experienced forward Ryan Taylor is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match.
