Doncaster Rovers
- Two of Yorkshire’s most famous clubs lock horns at the Keepmoat Stadium on Tuesday as 5th-placed Huddersfield Town (49 points from 31 games) travel south to face 20th-placed Doncaster Rovers (33 points from 30 matches).
- However, Rovers have won two of the last three meetings against the Terriers and are more than capable of getting a result in this one.
- Grant McCann’s men have enjoyed a mixed run of results with three wins and two defeats from their last five games, but they come into this one off a gritty 2-1 away victory at Burton Albion and should be full of confidence.

Huddersfield Town have been the more impressive of the two this season and, after three wins, a tie and just one defeat from their last five, they enter this game as strong favourites at 2.32 .
