Doncaster Rovers
- Doncaster have won three, drawn two and lost just one of their six home League One matches this term.
- The Rovers have had an average start to the season with just one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five in all competitions, but their results at the Eco-Power Stadium have been good with three wins, two draws and one defeat in their last six. Our Doncaster Rovers vs Northampton Town betting tips suggest this home advantage could play a crucial role.
Northampton Town
- Northampton Town have won one, drawn one and lost three of their five League One away games.
- Northampton do appear to have more momentum in their side with three wins, one draw and just one defeat from their last five games, which makes the Doncaster Rovers vs Northampton Town betting tips particularly interesting this week.
Head-to-Head
Northampton won 2-0 at Doncaster Rovers two years ago when both were in League Two, but a lot has changed since and the Doncaster Rovers vs Northampton Town prediction could be different this time around.
Key Players
- Owen Bailey is Rovers’ top scorer in League One with five in 12 appearances and he could be their best hope of scoring on Saturday.
- Robbie Gotts has scored two of their last four goals and adds a spark to their front line that has been missing.
- Sam Hoskins leads the Northampton scoring in the third tier with three from 11 appearances and remains their most dangerous player.
Betting Insights
- The Cobblers will be the outsiders when they arrive at the Eco-Power Stadium to take on Rovers and the 4.2 about a Town win is enticing.
- But the hosts are favored at 1.83 and look a little short for a home side that will always take some beating, especially when they get their hands on the ball.
- The odds of 1.7 about Under 2.5 goals being scored in Saturday’s game seem high for a game that will probably be a tight and tense affair.
Prediction
Doncaster are a bit more solid at the back, but Northampton score a few more, so in a low-scoring affair, our preference is for the home team to edge it.
