Accrington Stanley vs Doncaster Rovers Match Analysis & Prediction
14/11/2023 10:45 pm
With a tie against one of Salford City or Peterborough United at the start of December at stake, Accrington Stanley and Doncaster Rovers will re-commence battle when they meet in Tuesday’s FA Cup replay.
Accrington managed to force the replay after coming from behind on two occasions to draw Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium earlier this month.
Shaun Whalley’s 74th-minute equaliser looked to be in vain after Harrison Biggins restored Doncaster’s advantage, but Seamus Conneely levelled the scoring to keep Accrington in the draw.
Despite avoiding defeat in the original tie, the 2-2 draw has formed part of a three-game winless run, which has seen them lose league matches to Colchester United and Crawley Town.
In Saturday’s game against Crawley, John Coleman’s side took the lead through Jon Nolan, but a brace from Danilo Orsi and a Will Wright effort eventually condemned Accrington to a 3-1 defeat.
Accrington Stanley, who sit in eighth place in the League Two table, will look to return to winning ways in Tuesday’s replay, as they try to reach the second round for successive seasons.
In contrast to their hosts, the reverse fixture helped Doncaster put together a three-game unbeaten run across all competitions.
The 2-2 draw was preceded by a narrow league win over Grimsby Town, before they claimed a 2-1 victory over Burton Albion in last Tuesday’s EFL Trophy encounter.
However, Grant McCann’s side saw their encouraging spell of form come to an end on Saturday as they fell to a 2-0 defeat to AFC Wimbledon, leaving them in 20th place with seven points separating them from the relegation zone and the playoffs.
Saturday’s result also represented Doncaster’s fourth defeat in five away matches, which will leave them light on confidence ahead of Tuesday’s contest.
Accrington Stanley vs. Doncaster Rovers Head to head
In the 12 previous meetings between these two teams, Accrington have claimed seven victories while Doncaster have won two, and they have drawn in three. Doncaster have scored 14 goals and conceded 17 in the process.
