Doncaster Rovers and Middlesbrough will meet at the Eco-Power Stadium in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening. The Boro have not kept a clean sheet this season, which is something we are factoring heavily into our match prediction.
Doncaster Rovers have only got beyond the second round of the EFL Cup once in the last eight seasons, which was last term when they reached Round 3 before bowing out to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Vikings needed a penalty shootout to get past Stockport County in the last round and are still winless in League One, losing one and drawing one of their first two games of the season.
The hosts are also winless in their last three competitive home games and in their last two matches against their upcoming opponents at this venue.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough will be out for revenge here, as it was this very opponent that sent them packing from this competition, 4-0 in the opening round last season.
After edging Wrexham 1-0 in the first round of this competition, the Boro defeated Lincoln 2-1 before losing to Blackburn by the same scoreline last weekend in the EFL Championship.
The visitors are winless in their last five away games (excluding the Championship Playoffs) but have only failed to score in one of their last 12 competitive matches on the road.

Our Doncaster vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Doncaster Rovers have not made the best start to the season, failing to win either of their League One games to date, while needing penalties to get by Stockport County in the first round of this competition.
Middlesbrough are understandably the clear favourites in this clash, but they were knocked out of this competition by this opponent last term and have only kept two clean sheets in their last 14 matches. Therefore, our Doncaster Rovers vs Middlesbrough prediction is BTTS.
