Tottenham vs Doncaster Betting Tips, Correct Score Prediction and Best Bet Builder Picks

Tottenham Hotspur begin their Carabao Cup campaign on Wednesday night and Thomas Frank’s men are 1/12 to avoid an upset and make it through to round four by progressing past Doncaster Rovers.

League One Doncaster are 15/2 shots to qualify for the fourth round and 17/1 to get through without needing penalties. Spurs are 1/6 favourites to win the match outright, while a draw is available at 7/1 with the best football betting sites.

Tottenham vs Doncaster betting tips

The Spurs team that starts on Wednesday will likely look very different to the one that began Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Brighton. However, it will still be packed with Premier League quality, including a number of players with a point to prove.

Doncaster are a well-organised outfit and have already won eight games this season. However, they have lost their last two, going down 3-0 at Wigan Athletic in their most recent away trip.

If Spurs score first inside the opening 30 minutes then this should be a very straightforward home win. Therefore, handicap betting is where the value appears to be.

Tottenham can be backed at 17/20 to win by three or more goals, while you can get 47/20 on them beating Doncaster by at least four.

In terms of the First Goalscorer market, Randal Kolo Muani looks decent value at 15/4 as long as he starts the match.

Tottenham vs Doncaster: Correct Score prediction

Spurs have kept clean sheets in four of their last six games. They will likely be without Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven against Doncaster, but Frank will still expect another shutout.

The bookies reckon 2-0 or 3-0 are the most probable scorelines, each available at odds of 6/1. But we fancy 4-0, which is priced at 9/1.

Not all bookies are offering Bet Builders on this game, but there is still potential among the bigger firms. You can get 10/1 on BTTS, each team to have over three corners, and both teams to receive at least one card.

Meanwhile, Brennan Johnson and Xavi Simons each to have two or more shots on target and Tottenham to win both halves can be backed at 5/1.

While it is hard to predict which players Frank will rest, it feels highly probable that the Spurs boss will hand significant minutes to some of his players who have been short on starts so far this season.

Kolo Muani is expected to start, providing he overcomes the dead leg that ruled him out of the recent trip to Brighton. Kevin Danso, Mathys Tel and Archie Gray are also likely to be involved.

This game comes too soon for Dominic Solanke, but he could feature against Wolves at the weekend.

James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin and Yves Bissouma are all sidelined.

Unlike Spurs, Doncaster are set to name their strongest available XI. Manager Grant McCann admitted his side face an “almighty task” against the reigning Europa League champions but said there was no pressure on his players and urged them to enjoy the occasion.

Rovers will definitely be without Harry Clifton, who is recovering from a hamstring injury sustained earlier this month, while defender Jamie Sterry faces a late fitness check due to a back problem. On-loan winger Damola Ajayi has been cleared to play by Spurs and could therefore feature against his parent club.
