Prediction: 3-2
Doncaster
Notts County will look to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Stockport County when they take on Doncaster Rovers on Boxing Day. The Magpies aim to put an end to their three-game losing run in the League Two and this seems like a good opportunity for Luke Williams’ men to get back on course. As important forward David McGoldrick has overcome his injury, home win should definitely be considered.
The Donny, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back losses to Morecambe (0-5) and Bradford City (1-3), which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts. Midfielder Luke Molyneux is widely expected to return to Doncaster’s starting XI after coming as a substitute in the defeat to the Bantams. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Notts County defeated Doncaster 3-1.
