Prediction: 2-1
Doncaster
A spot in the FA Cup last 32 will be at stake when Blackburn Rovers and Doncaster Rovers face each other at Ewood Park. The Riversiders desperately needed a win against Birmingham City, and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game winless run in the Championship. Blackburn Rovers aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football game against Doncaster.
The Donny recorded four wins in the previous five league fixtures, but Blackburn will pose a much bigger threat for the League One side than their previous rivals. Since the Riversiders are regarded as good hosts, we predict that Doncaster will return home empty-handed from the trip to Lancashire. When the two teams met in the EFL Cup in August, 2020 Blackburn defeated Doncaster 3-2, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
