Wrexham v Doncaster

Wrexham vs Doncaster Rovers Preview

Newly promoted Wrexham will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in League Two to six games on Saturday afternoon when they play host to bottom club, Doncaster Rovers, when the two teams meet at the Racecourse Ground with a valuable three points up for grabs for both sides.

Despite being handed a heavy and perhaps unexpected 5-3 defeat at home to newly relegated MK Dons on the opening day of this League Two season, the Welsh club have responded in positive fashion by putting together a solid looking five-match unbeaten sequence in the English fourth tier which consists of two wins and three draws.

Victories gained over Walsall and Tranmere Rovers have been boosted by points picked up in draws with AFC Wimbledon, Swindon Town and Barrow and The Dragons will be keen to make home advantage count on Saturday as they look to lift themselves up into the top half of the division with all three points against strugglers, Doncaster Rovers.

It's been 15 long years since Wrexham last appeared in the Football League but the Welsh hosts are now on the way up and having scored in each of their six games overall so far this season (three of which have seen Wrexham score three goals or more), the goals market looks appealing here.

Doncaster Rovers have struggled to make an impact so far in this season's League Two campaign as the visitors sit bottom of the League Two table with just two points to their name, courtesy of points picked up in draws with Mansfield Town and Swindon Town, both of which were at home.

Doncaster finished last season in 18th place in the fourth tier final standings and the visitors would take a repeat of that finish right now if they could as four defeats out of their opening six games of this new term have left them sitting bottom of the pile.

Defeats to Harrogate Town, Newport County, Notts County and MK Dons have inflicted the early damage upon Grant McCann's side while four of Doncaster Rovers' six games to date have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals, so the goals market looks a decent option for this upcoming clash, especially as Wrexham are priced too low to consider the straight win market.

Wrexham v Doncaster Rovers Verdict

Wrexham bring a pretty solid sequence of results into this fixture against Doncaster Rovers as The Dragons have lost just three out of their last 18 matches in all competitions while Doncaster Rovers have yet to record their first league win of the season.

Wrexham have also been amongst the goals so far this season, scoring a total of 15 goals to date and they are joint-highest goal-scorers with Swindon Town.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.57

Other side bets worth considering:

Wrexham win & Over 3.5 goals @ 2.87

Correct score: Wrexham 3-0 @ 10.00
