On Monday, Doncaster Rovers took a huge step towards making the League Two playoff final with a 2-0 win away from home against Crewe in the first leg. The teams meet again on Friday night, this time Doncaster have home advantage as they look to wrap things up.
Doncaster Rovers Form GuideThe momentum from their excellent finish to the league campaign was on show for Doncaster on Monday in the first leg. They were brilliant from start to finish, on top of the game, and it never really looked in doubt. They have a two goal lead, and home advantage here, so it would certainly be a huge turnaround if they were to lose it from this position.
Rock solid at the back, and dangerous when going forward. Grant McCann has his Doncaster team playing some very good football, with players at the top of their game and potentially a one-off final away from being in League One next season. Let's not forget they ended the season with an 11 game unbeaten run, 10 wins in a row and then one draw on the final day of the season.
Crewe Form GuideMake no mistake about it, Crewe are going to have to be a lot better in this game if they want to get anywhere near close to Doncaster. It was a disappointing performance on Monday, one they will want to put right, and when they start, they have no choice but to attack, given the state of play.
Crewe haven't played too well under pressure for the past few weeks, as they've looked to cement a playoff spot, so if you want a positive for them, it is that this game will be without pressure, no one expects them to come here and do anything.
Match PredictionI think Doncaster win this one, and make the Wembley final comfortably. They're going on a real uphill curve at the moment, momentum is behind them, they are flying high with wins, and I think they get another one in this game, in front of their home fans, and send them off to Wembley.
