Prediction: 2-0
Rotherham
Buoyed by the EFL Cup win over Accrington, Doncaster Rovers will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they welcome Rotherham United to their Eco-Power Stadium. The Donny defeated Port Vale thanks to Owen Bailey’s goal and the 26-year-old is widely expected to return to the starting XI after impressing as a substitute in the EFL Cup victory. Midfielder Luke Molyneux is rated doubtful after picking up a knock in the midweek game.
The Millers, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of struggling on the travels. Given Rotherham’s poor defensive displays in back-to-back away defeats to Stevenage (0-1) and Cardiff City (0-3), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. All Benson, Hatton, and Nombe remain in the recovery room, while duo Kayode – Spence is rated doubtful for Saturday’s encounter.
Highlighted Team (Doncaster):
Based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, Doncaster Rovers are an English football club that compete in the League One. Keepmoat Stadium is the club’s home ground. The venue was opened on August 3, 2007 and it can hold up to 15,231 spectators.
Doncaster Rovers footballers wear white shirts with red stripes and white shorts when playing on home soil, whereas the club’s away colours are dark blue and red. Speaking of the Rovers’ history, the club was established back in 1879 by Alber Jenkins, who worked as a fitter at Doncaster’s Great Northern Railway.
Doncaster Rovers shared the spoils with Rawmarsh in their first ever game. The likes of Rotherham United, Barnsley, Grimsby Town and Scuntorpe United are considered the club’s main rivals. Over the years Doncaster fans have developed a rivalry with Plymout Argule as there have been fireworks in their games. Donny Dog, that wears a red and white jersey, is the club’s mascot.
