Vital Doncaster looks at the form of both Doncaster Rovers and Southampton ahead of the game at the Keepmoat on Saturday.
Doncaster
Rovers come into the game on the back of a 3-2 defeat at Millwall in midweek.
Last time out at home they were held to a goalless draw by Watford last weekend.
So far this season at home they have won one, drawn four and lost four of their nine games.
They have lost just two of their six games at home since the appointment of Dean Saunders.
Rovers are still bottom of the championship with thirteen points from nineteen games.

Southampton
The Saints continue to set the pace in the championship and they beat Hull City 2-1 at home in their last game.
Last time out on their travels they were beaten 2-0 by Bristol City last Saturday.
The defeat at Bristol was their first defeat in nine league games and the only time they have failed to score in the championship this season.
They have won five of their last six games.
Despite setting the pace at the top of the championship they have won just one of their last seven away games.
So far this season on their travels they have won three, drawn three and lost three.
Southampton are top of the championship with forty-two points from nineteen games.
