Doncaster Preview – Can Doncaster stop Ipswich?
Doncaster have taken a W3 D1 L1 record for this campaign and finished the weekend in seventh place.
That was after having taken a good 1-0 away win at Portsmouth on the weekend.
That gave them three wins in their last four League One games. So they have a little bit of momentum going.
In their home games, it has been a W1 D1 return from them. They have scored five goals in those two home fixtures.
With their 1-0 success at Portsmouth on the weekend, Doncaster recorded their first clean sheet of the season.
In each of the other four games that they have played, they conceded exactly one goal in each.
The home side’s form has been respected as in League One football betting.
Doncaster are 6/4 to collect the win over table-toppers Ipswich on Tuesday* (odds taken 22:29 GMT Monday, 19th October).
They will need their defence on point for this one. They are up against a team who are averaging over two goals per game so far in this campaign.
Doncaster and Ipswich only got to meet once last season in League One action. For Doncaster, that was away at Portman Road.
But they took a point away from that in a 0-0 draw.
Under 2.5 goals in League One betting for this fixture is at 8/11* (odds taken 22:29 GMT Monday, 19th October).
The winless streak of Doncaster against Ipswich is up to five, losing four of those.
So they are not tracking well there in the most recent of the head to head form.
But for those looking at their claims of getting something out of this game, Doncaster are undefeated in their last six League One home fixtures.
Ipswich Preview – Can Ipswich extend their unbeaten form?
The Tractor Boys are trundling along at the top of the table. They are currently with a W5 D1 record. So it’s been a fantastic start from them.
Ipswich have won their last two. The most recent of which was a 2-0 home success over Accrington on the weekend.
For reference, Accrington are in 9th place at the moment, just two spots beneath Doncaster.
Out on their travels this season, Ipswich have taken a W2 D1 record from their three games and have scored a total of seven goals in that sequence.
Overall for the campaign, home and away, they have tallied 13 goals at just over an average of two per fixture.
The Tractor Boys do find themselves going into the game as the 9/5 underdogs, but are likely going to give a good account of themselves.
Going back to the expectancy of this ending as a low-scoring fixture, we can look at a trend.
All but one of Ipswich’s last eight league games in this division have ended under 2.5 goals.
Can they put it all together and extend their unbeaten streak at the top, as well as their unbeaten run against Doncaster?

Ipswich have hit the back of the net at least twice in all but one of their last six League One fixtures, so they have been wonderfully consistent.
But it hasn’t all been about their attacking strengths either.
Ispwich have conceded just the two goals in this campaign, earning a total of four clean sheets in six.
There has been a consistent theme with their results on the back of all that, as four of their five wins have been by a 2-0 scoreline.
In the correct score market for League One betting in this fixture, an Ipswich 2-0 is a longer-priced option at 11/1* (odds taken 22:29 GMT Monday, 19th October).
Doncaster vs Ipswich Betting Advice
This should be a great game. Doncaster can be full of optimism and hope ahead of it after collecting a win against Portsmouth on the weekend.
They put four goals past Bristol Rovers in their last home fixture, and they will pose the league leaders Ipswich as a serious threat in this game.
But they have conceded in all but one of their league games this season and we think that is where their challenge is just going to fall down.
It’s a shame that this game is coming so quickly after the weekend, because these two going at each other fresh would have been better.
Key Facts – Doncaster vs Ipswich Betting Tip
- Doncaster have won three of their last four games
- Doncaster have won 1 of their last 10 against Ipswich
- Ipswich have averaged over 2 goals per game this season
We are going to lean towards Ipswich picking up an impressive three points in this one, as they have arguably looked the best side in the division so far.
They have the scoring threat and a mean defence and that means we think that we can follow them into action to sneak this by a one goal margin.
An Ipswich to win by 1 goal margin is at 10/3* (odds taken 22:29 GMT Monday, 19th October).
