Doncaster vs Crewe predictions

Doncaster have been the EFL's most consistent side over the last two months and they can ease through to the League Two playoff final by defeating out-of-sorts Crewe at the Eco-Power Stadium on Friday evening.

Confidence is sky-high in the Doncaster ranks after 11 victories in 12 games, including Monday's vital 2-0 success away to Crewe in the first leg of their playoff semi-final.

Crewe, meanwhile, are suffering from a lack of belief having won just one of their last ten fixtures.

The Railwaymen were hoping for the playoffs to bring about a change of fortune and they had a decent opening 30 minutes in the first leg with left wing-back Rio Adebisi forcing an early save from Rovers goalkeeper Thimothee Lo-Tutala.

However, Doncaster got their noses in front with Luke Molyneux's superb 34th-minute strike and they looked the more assured side for the remainder of the game.

Crewe manager Lee Bell has insisted that there is all to play for and he has a couple of decent attacking options to ponder with strikers Courtney Baker-Richardson and Chris Long pushing for recalls to the starting line-up.

Baker-Richardson and Long could have bigger roles to play, but there are obvious risks attached to a front-foot approach against a Doncaster team who have shown themselves to be utterly ruthless in recent weeks.

Donny have racked up at least two goals in each of their last seven games with much of the damage being inflicted via swift counter-attacks.

Wide forwards Molyneux and Hakeeb Adelakun have been heavily involved, contributing goal tallies of seven and six since the beginning of March, and their pace and skill could be key to killing off the tie.

Rovers remain respectful of their opponents but they will be staying true to their attacking principles and can advance to the final with another comfortable victory.

Key stat

Doncaster have won 11 of their last 12 matches.
