Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Promotion hopefuls Wrexham will look to climb to the playoffs berth when they host Doncaster at their Racecourse Ground in the League Two round 7. The Red Dragons proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Tranmere, with Aaron Hayden scoring the only goal of the match and they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Donny at home as well. Phil Parkinson has a luxury to count on key players for Saturday’s showdown.
Doncaster, on the other hand, played out a boring goalless draw with Doncaster at the weekend and given their six-match winless run in all competitions, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the visiting team, midfielder Tommy Rowe is banned for the match following his sending-off in the last league fixture. In their last home game in the League Two Wrexham played out a thrilling 5-5 draw with Swindon.
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.
