A fourth-round spot in the FA Cup awaits one of Southampton and Doncaster Rovers. The two will face off in one of the scheduled third-round matches, both hoping to have some positives in tough seasons. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Doncaster are struggling in League One, currently sitting 23rd. The hosts have had a torrid run ahead of this encounter. In their last six matches, they managed just one point in League One.
That was in their most recent match, holding Bolton Wanderers to a 1-1 draw. They’ve, however, failed to score in just one of their last five matches, and that should be a positive they carry into this game.
Southampton aren’t at their best either, as they come into this match winless in the last six games. A 3-2 win over West Bromwich Albion in the second week of December was the last time they tasted defeat.
It was their sixth win in seven matches and convinced the Saints to confirm Tonda Eckert as manager. However, things haven't worked out as envisioned, and especially their latest game was disastrous.
They are coming from a 4-0 defeat away to Middlesbrough. That left them just nine points above the relegation zone, which is poor for a team expected to rise back to the Premier League straight away.

Our Doncaster vs Southampton Prediction
These two sides are coming into this match off the back of poor runs. In that regard, both will view this as a winnable game, and we expect an equally big effort from either side. That means going for goals here could do, and this is supported by the two sides’ returns in attack.
Both scored in seven of Doncaster’s last nine matches, and Southampton’s last nine games have also registered the same numbers. Five losses in their last six matches place Doncaster as slight underdogs here, especially as they are facing a Championship side. Our prediction for Doncaster Rovers v Southampton is for Southampton to win and BTTS.
