LiontipsHull vs Doncaster. Prediction (odds 2.08) and bets on the FA Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Hull City are not having the best season in the Championship and after 26 rounds are in 22nd place in the relegation zone. The Tigers have 23 points, the same as Portsmouth from the line above, who are ahead due to additional indicators. In many ways, the reasons for such an unsuccessful performance are related to the fact that in the summer the team sold many key players, for whom they were unable to find a full-fledged replacement. Hull City approaches the upcoming cup game after a fighting home draw with Leeds (3:3). It should be noted that the team is the worst in the Championship in terms of the number of points scored in home matches - only 12 points.

Hughes, Palmer and Millar are injured and will not play today.

Current form
Doncaster plays in the Second League, the fourth most important football division in England. The season is going well for Rovers, with 40 points they are in seventh place, which allows them to fight in the playoffs for promotion. Moreover, the team is only two points behind the third position, which gives the opportunity to go directly to the First League. In recent matches, Doncaster alternated between different results, and failed to get into a winning streak. On the eve of the upcoming cup game, a home defeat 1:2 was recorded against Port Vale. In previous matches of the FA Cup, the Vikings beat Barrow with a minimum score of 1:0 and in extra time overcame the resistance of Kettering (2:1).

13.00Tip and bets
Two years ago, the rivals representing different divisions played each other in the League Cup and Doncaster won away. After that game there was another friendly match, in which the Vikings were stronger again. Hull plays very poorly at home, with only one win in the previous ten games on their home field. We think that the visitors will have a chance to reach the 1/16 finals of the Cup today, at least they are capable of playing a draw in regular time.
Our prediction is Doncaster not to lose at odds of 2.08
Bet on total
Doncaster play a fairly bold attacking football, it is no coincidence that in the three previous matches involving this team there was an exchange of goals scored. It is unlikely that this series will be interrupted in today cup game.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.76
Bet on the first half
Let also pay attention to the fact that Hull usually starts their matches cautiously, not forcing events on the field. Thus, in four of the five previous Tigers' matches, a draw was recorded in the first half, which we do not exclude today.
Betting Tip - draw in the first half with odds of 2.30
