Doncaster Rovers will be in desperate need of three points against Yorkshire rivals Leeds United on Friday as they attempt to climb the nPower Championship.
Rovers are currently sitting in 20th place on the ladder and new manager Dean Saunders will be looking to add to their wins column as soon as possible after picking up just two from their opening 10 matches.
Leeds are doing slightly better than their Yorkshire opponents and are in 11th spot after picking up 14 points from nine matches, but they are yet to win on the road this season and Simon Grayson will be hoping to end that record at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Saunders has just replaced Sean O’Driscoll as the manager at Doncaster and he will become a real fans favourite if he can get three points against one of their bitter rivals, Rovers can be backed at 2/1 to pick up the win with Leeds the favourites at 13/10.
Billy Sharp is lethal in front of goal and should thrive under the guidance of former Wales striker Saunders and he can be backed at 6/1 with
BetFred to grab the game’s opening goal, while team-mate James Hayter is also a threat in front of goal and is on offer at 7/1.
Leeds are not short of quality strikers themselves with Ross McCormack enjoying a good season so far with eight league goals to his name and is 5/1 to strike first with
Victor Chandler, with former Chelsea and Birmingham City hitman Mikael Forssell a good bet at 13/2 if the game is goalless heading into the last quarter.
Derbies are always tight affairs and this Yorkshire affair will be no different and you can get a 1-0 for Doncaster at 10/1 with
Bet365, while a 2-1 triumph for the Whites is on offer at 8/1. A goalless draw is a good bet for this contest and you can back that outcome at 10/1.
