Prediction: 2-1
AFC Wimbledon
Doncaster will be aiming to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Grimsby Town when they take on AFC Wimbledon in the League Two round 35. The Donny have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Kyle Hurst is pushing for a rare start after the 22-year-old found the net as a substitute against the Mariners, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Crawley Town, but given their three-match winless run in the English fourth tier, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. Kofi Balmer limped off with injury in the last league match, with Alex Pearce likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Tom Anderson):
Known for his heading and no-nonsense defending, the 1.92 m tall center back, is an English footballer who plays for Doncaster Rovers in the third tier of English Football. Anderson was born in Burnley, on the 2nd of September, 1993. He joined Burnley's youth academy at the age of seven and went on to sign his first professional contract with the club in May 2012.

On the 31st of January, 2018, Anderson joined his current club Doncaster Rovers initially on a year's loan before signing a two-year contract with the club in May.
