Premium Tips

Andy leans towards Stevenage, whose home advantage tips a close game their way.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Stevenage or draw (Double Chance) and both teams to score7/5Stevenage have the home platform at the Lamex, and the last two meetings between these sides were tight, low-margin affairs that finished level, which underlines the value in the draw safety net. Both teams to score is underpinned by Doncaster’s defensive frailty: they shipped 69 goals last season, one of the leakiest records in the division, so Stevenage should carve out chances. At the other end, Stevenage conceded at better than a goal a game themselves, giving Doncaster’s forwards openings too. A competitive game with goals at both ends, and the hosts well placed to avoid defeat.
Alfie May and Michael Mellon to both score anytime17/2Both strikers lead their team’s line and carry real goal threat. Mellon was a reliable finisher last season, netting seven times in just 16 starts with 26 efforts on target, and he now faces a Doncaster defence that conceded 69 goals across the campaign, ideal for a striker in this kind of form. May brings proven League One end product, seven goals and six assists last term, and has already worked the keeper twice in his opening games for Doncaster. With both defences prone to leaking, the platform is there for each frontman to find the net.

How Stevenage go into the game

Stevenage were beaten 2-1 at home by Oxford last time out, a frustrating result. The Lamex is a tough venue and a response is expected.

Boro are physical and awkward at home, and they will back themselves against Doncaster.

How Doncaster Rovers go into the game

Doncaster drew 0-0 at home with Barnsley last time out, a cautious start. Away form will define their season.

Rovers are organised but short of a cutting edge so far. A trip to Stevenage is a real test.
