Bitesize Prediction: Doncaster vs Gillingham – 07/09/24

Competition: League Two

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 5/6 @ 1xBet

Hoping to extend their buffer at the top of the League Two table, Gillingham will travel to the Eco-Power Stadium when they meet Doncaster on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, suffering major play-off heartbreak last season as they suffered an infamous collapse at the hands of Crewe, many were wondering if Doncaster would show any signs of a hangover this time around. However, despite falling to a worrying 3-1 drumming away at Newport on August 17th, the Rovers have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Last seen earlier in the putting in an impressive display as they clinched a 2-1 victory against Huddersfield while in EFL Trophy action, Grant McCann’s men are pencilled in as a leading top-seven contender this year. Securing an action-packed 3-2 win away at Port Vale last weekend, Saturday’s hosts have collected nine points from their first four League Two appearances. Getting proceedings underway with a stellar 4-1 romp against Accrington Stanley last month, Doncaster have gained a reputation for their lively outcomes. In fact, McCann’s side have seen three of their first four League Two matchups finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while Gillingham might have been left disappointed earlier in the week as they got their EFL Trophy adventure underway with a 2-1 loss at home against Peterborough, the Gills have gained a string of plaudits since opening up the new campaign. Opening Saturday’s trip to the Eco-Power Stadium leading the chase at the top of the League Two table, Mark Bonner’s men should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Getting proceedings underway with an early statement as they secured a 4-1 romp at home against Carlisle, the former Cambridge boss will be calling on his squad to spring another upset here. However, despite snatching a thrilling 2-2 stalemate when they last met Doncaster back on April 27th, Gillingham do hold a worrying record in Yorkshire. Including a 2-1 loss when they travelled to the play-off contenders last season, Bonner’s side have lost three of their previous four trips to the Rovers.
