Cardiff to Win

Reason for tip

Cardiff look the clear side to trust. They’re flying at home with four straight wins and seven victories from their last nine, while Doncaster arrive with a shaky defence and almost no attacking punch on the road. Doncaster have failed to win nine of ten league games and rarely threaten away from home. Cardiff’s control and consistency should tell again here.

Cardiff 1-0

Reason for tip

A 1–0 Cardiff win fits the pattern. Doncaster have lost five games by a single goal this season and score at a miserly 0.56 per away outing. Cardiff don’t need to be spectacular to get this done — their defensive edge at home and Doncaster’s blunt attack point to a tight but deserved victory for the hosts.

Cardiff’s home form should be too strong for travel-shy Doncaster

These sides were separated by two divisions last season, with Doncaster promoted from League Two and Cardiff relegated from the Championship.

Cardiff maintained their winning run with a 3-2 victory over Huddersfield last weekend, justifying their position as favourites at 23/20.

Doncaster’s defence has been far from solid, with the visitors failing to keep a clean sheet in 14 of their last 17 League One games. They have conceded 14 goals on the road this season, an average of 1.56 goals per game from nine matches.

Cardiff seem to be firing on all cylinders at home, having enjoyed four straight League One successes and been winners in seven of their last nine.

The visitors lack killer instinct in front of goal. Doncaster have been disappointing away from home this season, scoring just five goals in nine League One games – an average of 0.56 goals a game on the road.

Their recent results do not inspire confidence. They have failed to win nine of their last ten League One games and have not tasted victory in any of their last six away games.

Cardiff have been strong at home this season, winning seven of their nine League One home games, while Doncaster have won just two of their nine away matches. Five of Doncaster’s eight defeats this season have been by a single goal, so a narrow 1-0 win for Cardiff looks the most likely correct score.
