Doncaster

Over 2.5 Goals — 70% confidence

Both sides average more than a goal per game (Stockport 2.1, Doncaster 1.1) and together they have produced an average of 3.2 goals per match in their recent fixtures. The league’s overall average is 2.84, and the last eight meetings have averaged 2.63 goals. This suggests the encounter is likely to exceed 2.5 goals.

Stockport County or Draw — 78% confidence

Stockport sit second with 19 points and have won five of their last eight league games, including strong home form (4‑0‑2). Doncaster are 17th with only nine points and have managed just one win in five away matches. In the eight head‑to‑head meetings Stockport have five wins, one loss and two draws, the most recent being a 1‑1 draw. The combined evidence points to Stockport at least avoiding defeat.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (total goals and double chance), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.

Doncaster have struggled for form heading into this tie, failing to win any of their last five matches in all competitions and scoring just two goals in that span. While Middlesbrough have squad absences including T. Conway and A. Bangura, they have won two of their last three fixtures and have conceded only one goal across their two recent wins. Backing Middlesbrough on the Double Chance provides resilient coverage against a low-scoring cup battle.
