Prediction: 1-0
Shrewsbury
Doncaster Rovers play host to Shrewsbury Town at their Keepmoat Stadium in a postponed fixture. The Donny aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over promotion-chasing Oxford United, but the game against the Shrews will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. You should bear in mind that Doncaster Rovers recorded only one victory in the last five home games in the League One.
Shrewsbury Town, on the other hand, did well to hold Bristol City to a draw in the FA Cup round 3, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. However, we are not tempted to put our money on the visitors as tired legs are likely to prove to be their biggest problem in the midweek clash. In their last meeting in the English third tier the Shrews defeated the Donny 2-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
