Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Doncaster play host to Salford City at Eco-Power Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting League Two game. The Donny have been producing fine displays in all competitions of late and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Experienced forward Joe Ironside is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Notts County, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Lions, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Carlisle and seeing that Doncaster have a chance to climb to automatic promotion places, home win should be considered. When the two teams met in the EFL Cup three months ago Doncaster defeated Salford 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Speaking of the away team, forward Cole Stockton is widely expected to return to the starting XI after finding the net in the EFL Trophy win over Wolverhampton U21.
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.
