Coming into this fixture, Barnsley haven't been beaten in the league by Doncaster Rovers in their last 4 matches.

Doncaster Rovers

LLLDWD

In their last fixture, Doncaster Rovers drew 0-0 in the League One match with Bolton Wanderers.

Looking at their form, and Doncaster Rovers have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 10 goals in total. Defensively, Doncaster Rovers have some weaknesses to address. We will just have to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Their past results show that Doncaster Rovers:

• have not beaten Barnsley when they have played them away from home in the previous 6 league matches. Not good.
• are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

💡 Prediction

Our thinking is that Doncaster Rovers should have enough to score a goal against this Barnsley side, although it might not be enough to avoid a loss.

We think that it’s going to be a narrow 2-1 winning score for Barnsley after 90 minutes. Let’s just see how this one goes.
