Cardiff welcome Doncaster in what promises to be an entertaining League One clash. As the Bluebirds have been in solid form, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The South Wales outfit are brimming with confidence, winning four of their last five matches in all competitions and averaging 3.20 goals per game in that span. At home, their scoring rate jumps to 4.50 goals per game, while conceding only 2.00, showing both attacking potential and some defensive vulnerability. Despite missing players such as Alnwick, Colwill, King, Osho, and Tanner, Cardiff have maintained momentum with consecutive victories over Huddersfield and Stevenage.
The Donny, meanwhile, are in decent shape themselves, averaging 2.90 goals per match in recent games. Their key midfielder George Broadbent is suspended, but the team has shown depth, winning three of their last five outings. H2H history favors Cardiff, who have won 5 of the last 8 meetings, with over 1.5 goals scored in 88% of encounters.
Given both teams’ attacking tendencies, a high-scoring contest is likely. Therefore, Over 2.5 goals market should be considered, alongside Home Win due to Cardiff's excellent winning run in the League One.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 13 December 2025 at 15:00.
