Chesterfield vs Doncaster Betting Tips - Doncaster to Win

Doncaster Rovers head into this League Two clash in excellent form, with the visitors aiming for a fifth consecutive victory at Chesterfield.

Rovers secured a 2:1 win over Milton Keynes Dons last time out, cementing their position in second place with 52 points, seven behind league leaders Walsall. Four points clear of fourth-placed Wimbledon, Doncaster occupy an automatic promotion place as we head into the final months of the season.

On the road, Donny have delivered six victories while losing only two of their last 11 away fixtures. Grant McCann´s men scored a 3:1 win in their most recent road match at Barrow, while they also secured a place in the FA Cup 4th round with a fine win at Championship opponents Hull via penalty shootout.

Hosts Chesterfield sit in 10th place with 39 points, eight adrift of the promotion play-off spots. A 1-0 loss to Cheltenham Town last time out broke a three-match unbeaten run, but they have now failed to win six of their last seven league matches, with defeat suffered in four of those fixtures. While they secured a convincing 3:0 win against Doncaster in their first meeting this season, a similar outcome seems unlikely this week.

At home, Chesterfield have won just five of 14 fixtures this season and while they don´t lose many, they could struggle to contain an in-form Doncaster who have shown some real quality in recent away performances.

With five wins in their last six matches and momentum firmly on their side, I´m backing Doncaster to claim the points on Thursday.
