Coventry vs Doncaster Rovers Predictions

A good start to the season is an essential factor for any team who wishes to challenge for promotion and taking points off rivals who are in and around the same fight is also something which will improve a sides odds of accomplishing that goal. This weekend sees two sides in League One who are fighting to be playing their football in the Championship next season face off as Coventry City welcome Doncaster Rovers to St Andrews.

It has been the perfect start to the season as far as Coventry fans who attend the home matches are concerned as the Sky Blues have won all five of their matches at their temporary home at St Andrews and although they do not quite hold top spot, they know that another three points at the weekend could well see them reach the summit of the division. The hosts feature highly in both the best defences and attack records in the division and on home soil they have kept a clean sheet in 60% of their matches, which means that the pressure is immediately on their opposition to keep them at bay.

The latest side to make the trip to the St Andrews is a Doncaster Rovers team who will have every reason to believe that they are strong enough to claim the three points this weekend. The visitors have been around the play-off picture in League One for a few seasons now and they are already well adept at taking points from difficult matches on their rivals patch. However, although they have only had two matches on the road so far this season, the fact that they have not claimed the win in either contest is a concern and is something which will need to be improved if they are to start climbing the league.

Doncaster Rovers certainly represent a tough challenge for Coventry but that home form is hard to ignore. The Sky Blues look near untouchable in front of their own fans at the moment and given that their hosts are yet to win away from home in three matches in all competitions this season, we think that backing a home win represents the best opportunity for a decent return.
