Doncaster v Crystal Palace
📅
Kick Off: Monday 10th February at 19:45
🏆
Competition: FA Cup
Doncaster take on Crystal Palace in the penultimate game of the FA Cup 4th Round. The Eagles impressed last time out with a 2-0 away win against Man United in the league, today they face a Doncaster side who are currently sit second in League Two with a shout of securing automatic promotion. The Rovers are hoping to reach the 5th round of the FA Cup for the second time since the 1955/56 season.
⭐ Doncaster v Crystal Palace Best Bet
Doncaster played like they had one eye on this upcoming tie when they were dismantled 5-2 by Chesterfield in League Two on Thursday night. Despite them being 5 games unbeaten going into the Chesterfield match, the manner of the defeat has given Doncaster a vulnerable look.
Doncaster beat Barrow 1-0, Kettering 2-1 and Hull in a penalty shootout to reach round 4 but now come up against a Crystal Palace side that are improving as the season progresses and are currently playing with fluidity and a vibrancy.
Crystal Palace can make the 3 division difference between the 2 sides show here and can cover a 1-goal handicap here. This selection has won in all of Palace’s last 3 away matches (v Man United, West Ham and Leicester). Meanwhile, Doncaster have kept just 1 home clean sheet in their last 11 matches at the Eco-Power Stadium.
🟡 Doncaster v Crystal Palace #OddsOnThat Tip
Despite fancying Crystal Palace to dispose of Doncaster in this tie, there is enough evidence to suggest that Doncaster can pose an attacking threat. Doncaster average a notable 12.94 shots per game across all competitions this season with 33.5% on target ratio. They also average 5.97 corners per game.
Opponents average 11.21 shots per game and 5.75 corners per game v Crystal Palace across all competitions this season. Although they will be facing weaker opposition here, Palace could rotate some players and come under the cosh at times – at 16/1, this pick represents good value.
