iBet: Go low on goals in this fixture

League One

Leyton Orient V Doncaster Rovers, kick off 3pm

Lay over 3.5 goals at 3-1 with Betfair

Games that look close on paper are very often just that on the pitch, and it may pay to go low on goals in Saturday’s fixture at the Matchroom Stadium.

The home team has ten points after seven games while Doncaster have a point more, but the key driver for this bet is in the goals column. The Os have kept things tight with only seven goals conceded and four 1-0s in their League One games this season, which have averaged 2.14 goals. Doncaster Rovers meanwhile boast the third best defence in the division despite sitting in 12th, with only six goals shipped and an identical goals per game average. All seven of Doncaster’s league games have finished with less than four goals and I think that the odds to lay over 3.5 goals with Betfair should be longer than 3-1.

Advices

The Premier League looks very trappy indeed this weekend. Sunderland are struggling for goals and could become the only team ever to draw their opening five Premier League games when they play Wigan Athletic today – the odds for a draw are 5/2.
