Doncaster vs Northampton Predictions

• Nine of Doncaster’s last 11 games have contained fewer than three goals
• There have been more than two goals in only one of Northampton’s last 12 fixtures
• Town are unbeaten in five outings on the road

Is Doncaster’s play-off race run?

Doncaster sit eight points off the play-offs with nine games to go, so they desperately need to find some form quickly if they are to make an immediate return to League One.

Danny Schofield’s side have particularly struggled for goals, failing to score in four of their last eight fixtures, while nine of their last 11 outings have contained fewer than three strikes.

They are inconsistent at home too, losing five times in ten outings games all competitions at the Keepmoat, failing to net in each defeat.

Northampton finding form at the right time

Northampton meanwhile are still very much in the hunt for the top three, buoyed by four wins in their last six games, with each of those victories finishing 1-0.

Jon Brady’s side have one of the meanest defences in the division, conceding just 33 times in 37 outings, while at the other end they have netted exactly once in seven successive fixtures.

That shows that goals are few and far between, with 11 of their last dozen games containing fewer than three strikes.

I predict there will be fewer than three goals in this game too, with a 1-1 draw my correct score prediction.
