Brighton & Hove Albion v Doncaster Rovers - Score Predictor

Stuttering BHA (9th) meet the first league team to have played at The Amex - Doncaster Rovers (19th) this Saturday. Albion have historically had the upper hand against Donny, 11 wins, 7 draws & 6 defeats and are undefeated in our last 5 meetings. Donny have only won once in Sussex, back in 2007. A win 3-1 back in November at the Keepmoat Stadium last November, with goals scored by Jake Forster-Caskey, Lita & Lopez would be most welcomed. Indeed a win would I believe be our first double of the season!

Goals are hard to come by though in 2014. Only 2 league goals scored in 5 matches & no goals scored in our last 3 matches! Not surprisingly our form has dipped (13th) - last 6 matches, compared to Doncaster's 10th who have edged away from the bottom 3. Only Blackpool have scored less than us in these matches. Not all doom & gloom though. The defence is pretty solid - 3rd best in this sequence!

Back to my usual 3-1 to the Albion !

3-0

1-0 to us.

2-1 again.......with another late, late winner.

2-1 to the good guys

Playing two up front a massive 5-0 win to the good guys. Sorry got a bit excited for a minute. Actually voted 2-0.

2-0 to the Albion!

We'll scrape a 1-0.

I hope Oscar will remember how Donny were taken apart in the last 10 minutes at the Keepmoat when he eventually played two up front by putting Lita on alongside Barnes. It transformed an edgy draw into a convincing win 3-1. It had been one of those games where we should have been out of sight by half time and 2nd half Donny were all over us, not helped by us losing Bruno and Buckley to injury. Oscar's substitutions and change of attacking formation dramatically turned the tide.

It would be good to see D. Rod and March get starts, especially at home.

I'm still looking for a point :-( 2-1 Albion
