Team news
No absences reported
No recent (last three days) absence report found for Kidderminster. A 30 October preview named Luey Giles as suspended and Reece Devine as awaiting a hamstring scan, but that is older than the window, so neither is listed. Sam Austin and Layton Campbell are new signings, not absences.
- Will Keane Out
Manager Grant McCann said James Collins will be back next week, so Collins is a returning player, not an absence. No rotation reports found.
Allowing for this news: Kidderminster 17%, draw 26%, Doncaster 57% (xG 0.79 – 1.65). This adjustment is being tested in the track record and isn't used in the prediction above yet.

Corners
Most corners
Corner totals are hard to call: over 9.5 the model's log loss is 0.685 against 0.693 for a naive guess, across 30,937 past matches. Which side wins more corners is called much better.
Cards
Over 4.5 cards, the model's log loss is 0.653 against 0.682 for a naive guess, across 33,146 past matches. The referee matters a lot and isn't in the model.
