Prediction: 0-2
Doncaster
Bury will be looking to kick off the new League One campaign in style when they take on Doncaster Rovers at their Gigg Lane on Saturday afternoon. The Shakers have yet to play a game in the 2019/2020 League One season due to financial issues and it has to be noted that they start new season with 12-point deduction. The hosts are likely to leave their hearts on the field in their opener, but seeing that situation at Gigg Lane is alarming ahead of the visit of Doncaster Rovers, home win should not be considered.
The Donny, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Fleetwood Town and Lincoln City and we are positive that they are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration. In their last meeting in Bury Doncaster Rovers emerged triumphant.
