Doncaster Rovers’ revival under manager Grant McCann continued last weekend in League One as Rovers registered an important 2-1 win away from home at Rotherham United which in turn has helped lift Saturday’s hosts up into 18th place in the table where they hold a five-point cushion above the relegation zone.
Following a 1-1 draw at home with Bolton Wanderers back on New Years Day, Doncaster Rovers found themselves sitting second from bottom in the League One table but since the turn of the year, Rovers have suffered just two defeats within their subsequent eight league matches.
In addition, Doncaster have collected no fewer than five wins within this period and an overall home record that now stands at a more encouraging 6-4-5 21/21 should give the hosts a welcome lift ahead of facing the league leaders.
Cardiff City’s impressive 12-match unbeaten run in the English third tier was finally brought to a halt when The Bluebirds travelled down to Plymouth Argyle in last weekend’s fixture at Home Park.
The south west hosts recorded an impressive 5-2 thumping over Cardiff City but nevertheless, the Welsh club still sit top of the League One table and possess a healthy 11-point lead over 3rd placed Bolton Wanderers.
Results away from home have been steady rather than eye-catching for Brian Barry-Murphy’s side as Cardiff City hold an away record of 7-5-4 22/18 but there’s just the hint of a possible chink in The Bluebirds’ armour when on their travels.
The Betting Verdict
Doncaster Rovers have lost just once in their previous four meetings at home to Cardiff City.
The Pick :
Doncaster Rovers 0-0 Cardiff City
