Key facts

⚽

Open Games Both teams score in 80% of Doncaster's matches. Their games rarely stay quiet

🎯

Goals Lean We make it 60% for three or more goals in this one

▸ Form & goals

Goals are a tough one to call here. Doncaster are scoring 1.2 a game (1.2 of those at home) and Middlesbrough manage 1.5 (1.5 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 60%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 50%.

▸ Team news & context

Middlesbrough prefer to keep things tight (0.9 conceded per game) and nick a goal on the break. Patience will be key for Doncaster against this setup.
