Harrogate Town v Doncaster Rovers stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Harrogate suffered a third loss to nil in a row at Cheltenham Town on Saturday and have struggled for consistency for a while now. 

The Sulphurites have won just one of their last eight league matches and have lost their four consecutive home matches, with a visit from the league leaders a daunting task for such an out-of-sorts side. 

Doncaster, in contrast, have won six of their eight all-competition matches this term and have carried on their fine away form from last season. 

Rovers have lost only three of their last 15 League Two away games and their road fixtures tend to be exciting affairs, with 12 of those matches seeing both teams score. 

However, Harrogate will take some confidence in their record against Doncaster, with the Sulphurites winning three and drawing the other of their four clashes with Rovers.
