Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at Eco-Power Stadium pits together Doncaster and Accrington, who face each other in the opening match of the season. The Donny did well to make it to the League Two playoffs last time out, but Crewe proved to be a big problem for them in the double-header. Doncaster aim to, at least, repeat the last season’s success and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Accrington on Matchday 1. Veteran Billy Sharp is widely expected to make his official debut in Saturday’s clash.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, failed to impress in the last two warm-up games, with the team losing to both Buxton and Lancaster and seeing that Doncaster have turner their Eco-Power Stadium into a real fortress, home win should definitely be considered. It has to be noted that duo Tommy Leigh – Joe Pritchard has joined MK Dons in this transfer window.
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.
