Doncaster Rovers Crystal Palace Tips, Predictions and Odds
Doncaster Rovers host Crystal Palace in matchday 5 of the FA Cup on Sunday 17th February, 4:00pm at The Keepmoat Stadium.
A tough test for Palace
Crystal Palace are taking the FA Cup very seriously and seven points from their last four top-flight away games suggests that they should win here. Doncaster will be no pushovers, however, as they are currently on an eight-match unbeaten home run in League One.
Match result top tip: Draw or Away Win @ 1.18
Excitement at both ends
Grant McCann’s men certainly don’t have a problem when it comes to scoring goals, finding the net in 13 of their previous 14 third-tier fixtures. The Eagles have been similarly effective on their top-flight travels, scoring in 17 of their last 20 away matches.
Both teams to score top tip: BTTS – Yes @ 1.91
An entertaining place to watch football
If goals are what floats your boat, then a visit to the Keepmoat Stadium comes highly recommended. In fact, at least three have been scored in 11 of the previous 13 Doncaster home matches at League One level.
Over/under top tip: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.83
Good habits for the Eagles
Roy Hodgson’s men boast a tremendous recent record when it comes to scoring first, going 1-0 up in four of their previous five away games. Their hosts, by way of contrast, have conceded the opening goal to both Burton and Peterborough at home of late.
Team to score first top tip: Crystal Palace to score first @ 1.50
Zaha too hot to handle
Wilfried Zaha is a player who tends to score in streaks, and he heads to the Keepmoat Stadium on the back of two goals in as many games recently. Not only that, but two of his four strikes on the road this season have put Crystal Palace 1-0 up.
