Bolton have struggled for form on the road this season, but should be afforded an opportunity to start to correct that record here against a Doncaster side that have only won four of their 11 home games this season. These matches have produced 30 goals (13 scored, 17 conceded - 2.72 per game).

Doncaster have lost their last five matches across all competitions, seeing 3+ goals in three of those games. In all three instances, Doncaster’s opponents managed to cover this goal line on their own, with Grant McCann’s side conceding high goal tallies against the likes of Stockport (losing 4-2), Plymouth (losing 5-1) and Cardiff (losing 4-3) in recent weeks.

Bolton have seen 3+ goals in three of their last four matches in League One, with the exception of a 1-0 defeat to Mansfield last time out. Bolton were incredibly unlucky not to score in that game with an xG of 2.33. 

They have some of the most talented attacking players in the division, and should be able to take advantage of the lack of confidence currently engulfing Doncaster, who themselves may see this as an opportunity against a side that is much weaker on the road when compared to their home form.

Crawley are scrapping at the bottom of League Two and have conceded 40 goals across their 23 matches in the division, only Newport (41) and Bristol Rovers (44) have conceded more goals than Scott Lindsey’s side this season.

More than half of those goals have been conceded on the road (24), with Crawley having the worst away record of any side in League Two, winning just one of their 11 away matches. They have scored 10 goals themselves across those games, working out to 3.09 goals per Crawley away game this season.

Barnet’s home form isn’t much better with Dean Brennan’s side winning just three of their 11 home games this season. These matches have produced 31 goals (2.81 per game), offering promise when looking to back goals in this encounter.

Both sides have seen 3+ goals in three of their last five matches across all competitions, with Crawley coming into this clash winless across those fixtures. Barnet may have an opportunity to cover this line on their own, though their poor home record opens the door for a more even affair than the league standings of these two sides would initially suggest.

Both of these sides enter this contest in strong form, with neither losing any of their last five matches in League One. This consistency is rare for a league as volatile as the third division, with Lincoln also seeing 3+ goals in four of their last five matches.

Lincoln have impressively managed to win three of those games, suggesting that they are comfortable in high-scoring matches, which is also true of their opponents. Huddersfield have scored in each of their last five matches across all competitions, hitting tallies of three and five in two of those fixtures.

Huddersfield have seen 37 goals across their 11 away matches in League One this season (3.36 per game), with only Doncaster (23) and Leyton Orient (27) conceding more goals on the road than Huddersfield this season (20). 

Sheffield United’s recent games have been very entertaining with Chris Wilder’s side seeing 3+ goals in each of their last three matches in the Championship. This recent run includes an eight-goal thriller against Wrexham, which Sheffield United came out on the wrong side of, losing 5-3.

Leicester have seen 37 goals across their 12 away matches in the Championship this term (3.08 per game). The Foxes have seen 3+ goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions, only winning two of those games, which were both at home, coming against Derby and Ipswich.

The most recent head-to-head meeting between these sides took place back in November and produced five goals as Sheffield United ran out 3-2 winners There was a combined xG of 2.32 in that clash, so both sides were clinical, but the recent form of both sides when it comes to goals suggests that we will see at least three here.
