Doncaster
Gillingham and Doncaster go head to head at Priestfield Stadium in the League One round 14. The Gills aim to put an end to their three-game losing run, and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Despite the defeat to Sunderland, head coach Steve Evans is unlikely to make too many changes to the starting XI.
The Donny, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table, with the team collecting only seven points in total from the possible 33. The rock-bottom side failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Wycombe, and they are unlikely to spoil Gillingham’s party at Priestfield Stadium. As for the visiting team, Fejiri Okenabirhie is sidelined through injury. In their last encounter in the English their tier the two teams played out a 2-2 draw.
