The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Ipswich's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won one match, drawn zero and lost three.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

The manager R. Wellens is not happy with the away performances in the League One so far, as all 5 matches have been lost. A depressing five defeats in a row for Doncaster in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Sheffield Wednesday.

Doncaster are travelling again after losing away to Plymouth Argyle in their previous match (1-2). Doncaster Rovers goalkeeper Pontus Dahlberg could take pride in a splendid shift against Plymouth Argyle, but in spite of managing eight saves the defeat could not be stopped. Late heartbreak for Doncaster in the Plymouth Argyle match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Pontus Dahlberg (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.51. Dahlberg stopped the opponent with eight saves.

Before that, Doncaster secured a home win against Manchester City U21 with the score 2-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Doncaster Rovers playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and three home wins.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Milton Keynes Dons in just four days.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Doncaster's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 5 matches. As for defending, Doncaster rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 9 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: seven - one - two (Ipswich wins - draws - Doncaster Rovers wins). As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
