Doncaster vs HuddersfieldPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The eighth group game in the EFL Trophy, with no table to quote: what matters are the recent outings and the past meetings. Doncaster have gone five matches without a win: 1-1 with Notts County, 2-2 at Stevenage, 1-3 against Middlesbrough, 0-0 with Barnsley and 1-2 at Mansfield Town, so three draws and two defeats with 5 goals scored and 8 conceded. Huddersfield have kept a different rhythm: 3-1 against Oxford United, 2-1 at Cambridge United, 1-1 at Milton Keynes Dons, 3-0 against AFC Wimbledon and 1-1 at Preston, that is three wins and two draws with no defeats, 10 goals scored and 4 conceded. The four previous meetings are close: 1-0 to Doncaster in February 2026 at the Eco-Power Stadium, 1-1 a week earlier at Huddersfield, 2-0 to Huddersfield in August 2025 and 2-1 to Doncaster in September 2024. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
