Doncaster Rovers go in search of a third away win on the spin at Portsmouth today.

Gary McSheffrey’s men must take confidence from their fine victories at promotion-chasing MK Dons and Sunderland as they look to bounce back from Tuesday night’s jaded display in the home defeat to Ipswich Town.

But they will face a Pompey side buoyed by victory at home to Burton Albion in midweek which ended their six-game win-less run in League One.

These sides drew 0-0 in the reverse fixture in August.

Rovers scramble it clear after a mistake by Jackson.
