Doncaster vs Southampton Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 10/01/2026

Doncaster are eager to claim a major scalp in the FA Cup last 64, but given the number of high-profile players in the away team, we predict a 2-1 Southampton win. Donny will be without midfielder George Broadbent, who picked up a knock in their recent 1-1 League One draw with Bolton. The League One side have struggled for consistency, earning just 1.10 points per game, with 30% of matches won and 70% featuring both teams to score. At home, they’ve shown slightly more promise, scoring 1.8 goals per match but still conceding 2.0, reflecting defensive vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a Championship outfit.The Saints, on the other hand, head into Saturday’s clash following a 4-0 defeat to Middlesbrough, highlighting cracks in their form, especially on the road where they average just 0.20 points per away game and concede 2.4 goals per match. Despite this, their expected goals of 1.66 and attacking potential suggest they can create enough chances to challenge Doncaster’s shaky defence. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
