  • Competition: England - League Two
  • Date: Wednesday, 1st, January 2025
  • Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
  • Venue: Eco-Power Stadium (Doncaster)

Doncaster Rovers will be pushing to keep their place in the top three when they welcome Fleetwood Town to Eco-Power Stadium on Wednesday.

The players under Grant McCann have faltered in their bid to maintain a top-three position in the English fourth tier, with their last five league games reflecting a disappointing tally of only one victory. With their recent slide in form, Doncaster have allowed automatic promotion-chasing rivals Port Vale and Grimsby to go level on points with them, meaning the Rovers need a quick turnaround to hold onto third place.

In contrast, Fleetwood lost their League One status last season after 11 long years, but their pursuit of an immediate return has faced many challenges, and they will need a significant surge in the second half of the season if they are to dream of promotion. The upcoming matches could determine the Fisherman's path this season, as they are equally distant from both the playoff spots and the relegation zone, after managing to add a modest 27 points to their tally thus far.

Doncaster Rovers vs Fleetwood Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5

Both teams have been struggling with inconsistency in recent weeks, which suggests we are in for a highly unpredictable clash where a solitary strike might be enough to separate the sides. The lack of cutting edge in front of goal has been evident for Rovers recently, as they have failed to find the back of the net in three of their last five competitive outings. Away from home, Fleetwood share similar struggles with Doncaster, as their lack of creativity in the final third has left them scoreless in three of their last five outings across all competitions. Moreover, recent clashes between these rivals have often been low-scoring affairs, as three of their last four head-to-heads featured no more than a single goal, and considering their shared struggles in attack lately, we expect a cagey encounter that might be settled by a solitary strike.
