Stevenage vs Doncaster Predictions

Stevenage are the bet at home to Doncaster on Saturday. The visitors have lost five times in their last seven League One away games.

Stevenage are sixth in League One, eight places and eight points above Doncaster, with eight wins from their 13 games this season. The visitors sit 19th with five wins and eight losses.

The hosts are on a roll. Stevenage have won five of their last six League One home games and are unbeaten in their last seven.

No defence has been meaner than Stevenage’s in League One this term, with just 11 goals against in 13 games. They have been impressive at home too, conceding just two goals in six matches – an average of 0.33 goals per game.

Stevenage have been in goalscoring form against the lower-ranked teams this season, averaging almost two goals a game in their seven League One games against bottom-half sides. They have scored an impressive 2.33 goals per game in their three matches against teams in the bottom six.

Backing Doncaster’s opponents during their current run of seven defeats in nine League One games would have resulted in a profit of 11.21 units.

They are enduring a rough spell, without a win in nine League One games and having lost seven of their last nine matches. They have failed to win six of their last seven away games.

The visitors lack killer instinct in front of goal. Doncaster have been disappointing up front away from home this season, scoring just five goals in eight League One games – an average of 0.63 goals a game on the road.

Their defence has not been their strongest suit this season. Doncaster have failed to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 20 League One games and have conceded 14 goals away from home – an average of 1.75 goals per game from eight matches.

With seven of Stevenage’s last nine League One games having fewer than three goals, a 2-0 home win for Stevenage looks the best correct-score bet.
