Doncaster and Barnsley meet in League One round two, with both sides looking for their first points of the campaign. Doncaster suffered a 2-1 defeat to Mansfield in their opener despite creating chances, and they will be keen to respond on home soil. The hosts have won 40% of their last 10 matches, while Brandon Hanlan is pushing for a starting berth after appearing from the bench against Mansfield. Francis Okoronkwo remains sidelined with an injury.
Barnsley, meanwhile, were beaten 1-0 by Bromley in a disappointing opening-day performance. The Tykes have won just two of their last 10 matches and have failed to score in four of those games. There are no fresh injury concerns, while summer signing Amani Richards could make his full debut as Barnsley look for a response.
As only 25% of Barnsley's last 20 H2H meetings produced more than three goals, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Under 2.5 goals. Additionally, Under 3.5 goals and Half-Time Draw bets seem tempting.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 12:30.
