Football – England – League One Betting Tips
Onto League One, and a bottom half encounter between two sides that are seemingly heading in opposite directions with Doncaster Rovers taking on a resurgent Oldham Athletic at the Keepmoat Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
But although Doncaster have registered just one league win from their last five overall, which was a 2-1 home win over MK Dons, they’ve been in pretty solid form of late on home turf, picking up wins over Southend United, Portsmouth and the aforementioned MK Dons, as well as a 1-1 draw with improving Rotherham United.
Donny possess a home record of 3-4-3 13/13 but just one defeat from their last five at the Keepmoat shows they’ve made improvements in recent weeks. Striker Marquis (6 goals) is Doncaster’s main threat up front.
Visitors Oldham Athletic ended a run of three league matches without a win last weekend when they thumped hapless Northampton Town 5-1 at Boundary Park which lifted The Latics up into 16th place in League One as their recovery continues.
However, Oldham’s recent return to success has been largely down to their improved form at home where they’ve recorded wins over Bury, Rochdale and Northampton, while away from home, there is still plenty of room for improvement as they hold a less than convincing record of 2-4-4 15/21.
The Latics are without a win from their last four on the road, and indeed, have picked up just two league wins from their last 15 matches on their travels, so they could be in for a tough examination at Doncaster today.
