Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Charlton, Portsmouth moved one step closer to securing automatic promotion. The Posh are one point away from turning their dream into reality, but we are positive that they will go for a win in Tuesday’s clash against Doncaster Rovers. Considering that head coach Darren Ferguson has a full squad to choose from, home win should definitely be considered.
The Donny, on the other hand, aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, and seeing that the visitors are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash, we believe that the hosts will have a number of opportunities to seal the victory on the break. Tyreece John-Jules should be the only absentee in the away team. You should bear in mind, though, that Peterborough have not defeated Doncaster in a competitive match since March, 2016.
