Doncaster Rovers vs Barnet Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

Darren Ferguson’s side has been in fantastic form so far this season and they currently sit in second place just five points off the lead of Plymouth Argyle. Doncaster fans will be particularly delighted with their result against Portsmouth last week, as they came away with a 2-1 victory over a side who have looked imperious at Fratton Park this season. Ferguson rotated his squad for the Checkatrade Trophy in midweek and his side needed penalties to see off a Derby County Under 21’s side, although that result is likely to have little impact on Saturday’s action as Ferguson is expected to return to the majority of the side that won in the league last week.

Barnet will be bemoaning their ability to convert draws into wins this season as they have just two wins on the board but already have six draws. The Bees are not expected to be among the challengers for promotion this year so they will not be too disheartened to see themselves in 18th place after their opening 10 games, but they will know that their start could have been so much better if they were more clinical in front of goal. Despite having one of the strongest defensive records in the division, especially if you exclude a 5-1 thrashing by Portsmouth, they also have one of the lowest scoring outputs of all the sides in League Two.

On paper this looks to be a nailed-on home win so it will come as little surprise that we are backing Doncaster to win at 4/7 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think it will be a comfortable weekend for Ferguson’s men so are backing them to win 3-0 at 11/1 with the same site.
