Recent respective form guides

Hull City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Tigers have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Doncaster Rovers's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Rovers have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hull City's 60 points from 41 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

Doncaster Rovers are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 45 points from 41 matches.
