Charlton v Doncaster Rovers

We’re getting on to the FA Cup second round betting tips, starting with Charlton v Doncaster Rovers. Charlton enjoy home advantage and will be eager to use it to bag a place in the next round of the FA Cup where the prize money starts to build. The Londoners have been holding their own in League One so far this season; they are sitting sixth after 18 games with a record of nine wins, four draws and five defeats. That has them 10 points off leaders Portsmouth and they set-up on the back of a three-game winning streak.

That purple patch started with victory over Doncaster Rovers – interestingly enough – at this venue early last month. It was followed by wins over Walsall and Bristol Rovers. They also hammered Mansfield 5-0 in this competition last time; however, they needed a home replay to get over the line after being held to a 1-1 on the road. There was no mistake second time out with Taylor helping himself to a hat-trick, adding to goals from Marshall and Ajose. The home win is 23/20 favourite at William Hill and that’s how we plan to approach this.

Rovers Have Been Holding Their Own

Doncaster may have lost to Charlton recently, but they have matched them for large parts of the season so far and go into the FA Cup week with a CV showing 8-5-6. This means they have just two points fewer on the board than their hosts and are only two places lower in the pecking order. They put a miserable run of form behind them to beat AFC Wimbledon at home and followed that with a 1-1 draw away to Barnsley last time.

Like their opponents, Rovers also needed a replay in the last round; they also dealt out a real hammering when back in front of their own fans. A 2-2 away to Chorley was a real upset but they destroyed the same opponent 7-0 nine days later and that result would’ve injected real confidence into the side, although they could do without more games being added to an already hectic schedule. Doncaster are 5/2 at Unibet, with the draw a 12/5 poke through Bet365.
