Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner in this fixture, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Stockport and Doncaster will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Jim McNulty or Grant McCann has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s lately either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.20 equating to roughly a 80% probability.
