Prediction: 2-1
Barrow
Doncaster will try to make amends for a massive 3-0 loss to Chesterfield when they face Barrow in an eagerly-awaited League Two game. The Donny have been struggling the form from the last season finale, but they are still seen as favourites to win Tuesday’s clash. Veteran Billy Sharp is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while midfielder Luke Molyneux misses out through suspension.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, have yet to recover from a heavy EFL Cup loss (0-5) to Chelsea and given their poor defensive display in a 2-0 defeat to Gillingham, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the midweek clash. In their last meeting at Eco-Power Stadium Doncaster defeated Barrow 4-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Bluebirds forward Katia Kouyate is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match.
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.
A further string of loans to Conference clubs Hyde, Halifax, and Lincoln City, League Two club Carlisle and League One club Chesterfield, succeeded his time at Harrow. 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.
This permanent switch ended his 18 years-long relationship with parent club Burnley during which, he never once made an appearance for the senior team. On the International front, the 26-year-old has never represented his country at any level.
Highlighted Team (Barrow):
Founded back in 1901, Barrow is an English club that competes in the League two, the fourth tier of the English football system.
