Doncaster v Salford City

Doncaster vs Salford Preview

Doncaster Rovers gained a useful point in last weekend's League Two action when they held high-flying Notts County to a 1-1 draw at their Eco-Power Stadium, while Salford City slipped up at home, losing 1-0 to lowly Carlisle United in a disappointing defeat.

Doncaster Rovers still remain sitting in fourth place in the League Two table thanks to that point gained against The Magpies and having previously recorded a 2-1 win away from home at Bradford City, the upcoming hosts will be feeling upbeat about their chances this Saturday afternoon.

Saturday's hosts have been dealt four defeats so far this season in the English fourth tier, two of which were handed to Rovers on home soil at their Eco-Power Stadium by the likes of Chesterfield and Bromley respectively, but Grant McCann's side have also managed to collect eight wins and three draws within their 15 league matches played to date.

Four of Doncaster Rovers' eight wins so far this term have been achieved on their own patch with wins registered against Accrington Stanley, Morecambe, Gillingham and Barrow, and the bigger picture shows Rovers have lost just two of their last 16 home games in League Two, 10 of which also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Salford City have produced a mixed bag of results so far in this season's League Two campaign and The Ammies accordingly occupy a mid-table position of 13th place in the fourth tier table.

The visitors have won five, drawn five and lost five of their 15 league matches played to date so literally anything could happen in this upcoming clash at the Eco-Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon!

To gain a deeper understanding and a handle on what is more likely to happen on the road for Salford City, the visitors have actually been tougher to beat on their travels than at home this season and this is reflected by the fact that four of Salford City's five defeats have been inflicted upon Karl Robinson's side at their Peninsula Stadium.

Meanwhile on the road, Salford City have been dealt just the single loss in their seven away games to date this term which came in the form of a 3-1 loss at Newport County but they have also picked up just the one win as well, a 2-1 win at Colchester United.

Salford City have also been involved in no fewer than five draws on the road this season, while four of their seven outings on the road this season have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Doncaster Rovers v Salford City Verdict

A low-scoring affair is therefore expected to unfold at the Eco-Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon with perhaps Salford City nicking a narrow 1-0 win.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 1.95

Other side bets worth considering:

Salford City win @ 4.33

Correct Score: Salford City win & Under 2.5 goals @ 8.50
