Swansea City face a trip to Doncaster Rovers at Keepmoat Stadium on Friday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Swans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League One match.
