Leicester City and Doncaster Rovers come into this match level on 9 points from 8 games, with the hosts sitting 17th and the visitors 16th, just one place apart in the League One table. This makes it a game where both sides need points to keep the table from starting to weigh on them. Leicester City lost their most recent league game 1-3, making it two defeats in a row, and across the last 8 games they have managed only two wins. Defence is clearly a problem, having already conceded 14 goals. Doncaster Rovers, meanwhile, are in good form on a winning run, with both of their last two wins coming 1-0. Their defence is tighter, though their attack is not yet especially fierce. Given the situation, Leicester City, playing at home, will likely be the side that has to open up and push for a goal from the start, while Doncaster Rovers will probably sit in a block and wait for counter-attacking chances from the gaps the hosts leave behind.
