Key Players
- Marcus Browne is the Dons’ top scorer in League One 2025/2026 with six goals in 20 appearances and can be relied on to cause problems.
- Myles Hippolyte has scored two in his last five, however, and his pace can be a big problem for this Doncaster defence.

Betting Insights
- The odds favour Doncaster Rovers at 2.62, with Wimbledon a touch shorter at 2.68 and the draw available at 3.15.
- The Under 2.5 goals market is slightly against the grain at 1.75, which looks an excellent option here.

Prediction
Given Doncaster’s terrible away form, a draw or Wimbledon win looks a good option, but with the visitors coming off a run of five without a win, we’re opting for the draw in the full-time result market .
