Betting Sites Predicting a Close Encounter

If you want to back Doncaster Rovers to win this League One clash, then the bookies have priced them up at 2.80 on the 1x2 market. Wigan Athletic are available at betting odds of 2.48 and the draw is 3.15.

If Wigan and Doncaster play out a draw, then an Asian Handicap -0.25 on the former means a half stake refund. However, a victory for the favourites would mean a full payout at 2.08.

Under 2.5 Goals is a short-priced option for those expecting two goals or less. If you think both teams will score, then BTTS Yes could appeal. Otherwise, you can back BTTS No as an alternative.
