Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tranmere will look to put an end to their five-match winless run when they take on Doncaster in the League Two round 23. The Super Whites do not seem to be at their sharpest, but a win over the Donny will see them stay in the playoffs race. Jake Burton is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Grimsby.
Meanwhile, the Donny recorded a very important 1-0 win over Newport County, with Kyle Knoyle scoring the only goal of the match. The visitors are now two points behind the playoffs berth, and we predict that they will take advantage of Tranmere’s poor form. Danny Schofield is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Exiles, meaning that George Miller should continue to lead the line for the away side.
