Prediction Stevenage vs Doncaster Rovers 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for League One on 22/11/2025

Match preview: Stevenage ready to defend home turf at The Lamex

Stevenage return to The Lamex Stadium on 22 November buoyed by a strong home record and a healthy League One placing. Sitting sixth with 26 points from 13 matches, the Hertfordshire side has been solid at home this season — just two goals conceded on their own patch and four clean sheets underline a defensive resilience that has carried them through a string of positive results. Recent form is a mixed bag, but the sequence of wins and draws in their latest ten fixtures shows a team capable of grinding out results; notable performances have included a 5-2 cup-style flourish against Crystal Palace U21 and tight league fixtures that have often gone their way.

Doncaster Rovers, by contrast, arrive in a fragile moment. Nineteenth in the table with 18 points from 16 matches, Doncaster have struggled away from home and their goals conceded figures on the road (14) hint at vulnerability when forced to chase games. Their recent run has alternated flashes of promise — a 3-1 victory over Bradford — with heavy results, and their defense looks susceptible to sustained pressure. The last meeting between these two in 2023 finished 1-0 to Stevenage, a memory that will encourage the hosts.

Tactical battle and key context

This fixture shapes up as a battle between Stevenage’s compact home defensive record and Doncaster’s uneven away attacking output. Stevenage average over 93 attacks per game and keep dangerous attacks to a disciplined level; they convert chances efficiently enough at home to stay competitive in the top half. Doncaster generate a healthy number of total shots across the season, but their conversion and defensive leakage away from home leave them exposed. Recent best player mentions — H. White for Stevenage and Luke Molyneux for Doncaster — point to individuals who have influenced results in the immediate past, but the numbers favor the home side’s collective organization.

Betting suggestion

Bookmakers currently price Stevenage at about 1.99 to win, with the draw trading around 3.25 and Doncaster 3.85. Given Stevenage’s stingy home defensive record and Doncaster’s troubling away concessions, the strongest single-market play here is a straight 1X2 stake on Stevenage to win. Backing the home victory offers value at the implied probability and aligns with the form and statistical edge shown in the available data.
