Match Facts
This will be the first ever meeting between Forest Green Rovers and Doncaster Rovers in the top four tiers of English football.
Doncaster Rovers are unbeaten in their last six matches against Forest Green Rovers (W5 D1), with all six of those meetings coming in the Conference (now National League) between 2000 and 2003.
Forest Green have lost each of their last five home league games, including their final such game of last season. The last League Two side to lose their opening five home league fixtures were Exeter in 2016-17, who finished 5th that season.
Doncaster are the only side in League Two this season without a win (D2 L5) - only in 1970-71 (9 games) and 1997-98 (20 games) have they played more games to begin a season without winning.
