Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Salford City will be aiming to make amends for a 4-3 loss to Crewe when they take on Doncaster in the League Two round 37. The Lions are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, and the fact that they defeated Newport in their last home game is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. Scotland midfielder Stephen Mallan is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while his compatriot Callum Hendry should keep his place in the starting XI after finding his goalscoring touch.
The Donny, on the other hand, did well to beat AFC Wimbledon at the weekend, with the team keeping their playoffs hopes alive. Since both sides are likely to go for a win in Saturday’s encounter, we believe that gamblers from all around the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Charlie Lakin is unlikely to feature against Salford after limping off with injury in the last league fixture.
Highlighted Player (Conor McAleny):
Conor McAleny is a product of Everton youth academy, joining the club from Merseyside in 2003 at the age of 11. Despite the fact that his main position is centre-forward, McAleny is used as both second striker and left winger as well. McAleny did spend his youth career at Goodison Park, but it has to be noted that he made no more than two appearances for the Toffees at senior level.
The English attacker, who was born in Whiston on August 12, 1992, made his first-team debut in a 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal on December, 2011. Conor McAleny played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Brentford, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic and Oxford United before signing a deal with Fleetwood Town.
The right-footed striker spent the second half of the 2018/2019 season on loan at Kilmarnock, scoring 3 goals in 11 appearances for the club in the Scottish Premier League.
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.
