What to expect
We expect about 1.1 goals from Doncaster and 1.7 from Middlesbrough, so Middlesbrough come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Our pick: Middlesbrough to win. Middlesbrough shade this one on the numbers (xG 1.1-1.7), and we make them about 59% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.
We put the chance of that landing at about 59 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.53, which works out at about 65 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
One thing to watch
A red card, a penalty or a smash-and-grab is all it takes for Doncaster to spoil this. The price is shorter than our own read of about 59%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
