Doncaster welcome Plymouth in a matchup shaped by attacking intent versus defensive caution. Therefore, our prediction firmly points toward a 3-1 home win. The Donny have taken 1.6 points per game overall and remain particularly dangerous going forward, averaging 1.9 goals per match. At home, that number rises to 2.2 goals, with 80% of their games seeing both teams score. The expected return of Billy Sharp to the starting XI should further boost a frontline that already produces chances consistently (expected goals 1.34).
Plymouth’s form has been patchy at 1.2 points per game, and their main concern is in attack. The Pilgrims score just 0.5 goals per match overall, with 50% of games ending without them finding the net. Defensively, they are relatively organized, keeping clean sheets in 40% of matches, but the absence of Brendan Galloway weakens their back line. Their expected goals against stands at 1.56, suggesting pressure is often absorbed rather than controlled.
As Doncaster average 3.4 total goals per game, Over 2.5 goals (64% H2H) is our main betting tip for this League One encounter. Additionally, Home Win and Doncaster to Score First bets seem appealing as the Donny have turned their Eco-Power Stadium into a real fortress.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 15:00.
