Doncaster vs Everton Predictions
[wptb id=393907]
Can the League Two side pull off another shock?
Key Stats
– Doncaster are bottom of League Two after four defeats in five games.
– Five of Everton’s last six games have been decided by a single goal.
Doncaster Rovers will be looking to pull off another upset when they host Everton in the second round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night. The League Two side caused a major shock in the previous round when they knocked out Championship side Hull City, and they will be hoping to replicate that performance against the Toffees.
Everton are currently bottom of the Premier League after losing their opening three games of the season, and they will be desperate to get a win under their belts. However, they have a poor record in the League Cup in recent years, and they have only progressed from two of their last six away ties in the competition.

Doncaster, on the other hand, have been in good form in the cup, and they have won their last two games in the competition. The hosts will be without the suspended Ben Close, but they will be boosted by the return of James Coppinger. Everton will be without the injured Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but they have brought in new signings Youssef Chermiti and Beto, although the latter won’t be able to feature as the deal was only confirmed on Tuesday morning.
Here are some other key things to consider when analysing this game:
- Doncaster will be playing at home, which will give them a slight advantage.
- Everton have a number of injuries, which could weaken their side.
- Doncaster have a good record against Premier League teams in recent years, having beaten Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in the League Cup in the past.
Predictions
Prediction 1: Everton to win, but it will be close
Everton are the better team on paper, with a much stronger squad than Doncaster. They have also won their last two games in the League Cup, and they will be confident of progressing to the next round. However, Everton have been struggling for form in the Premier League, and they have lost their opening three games of the season.
They have also been hit by a number of injuries, including to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, their top scorer last season. Doncaster are a dangerous side on their day, and they have already caused an upset in the competition by knocking out Championship side Hull City in the previous round. They will be playing at home, which will give them a slight advantage. Overall, I think it will be a close game, but I think Everton will just edge it. This should give them some level of confidence going into the next Premier League weekend.
Prediction 2: Correct score: 2-1 to Everton
I think Everton will win the game by a single goal, but it will be a tight affair. Doncaster might well find the first goal as they are likely to start strongly in front of their fans, but Everton should come back to win the game in the second half. Doncaster have a good record against Premier League teams in recent years, and they will be confident of scoring against Everton.
They have beaten Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in the League Cup in the past. However, I think Everton’s superior quality will eventually show. They have a more potent attack than Doncaster, and I think they will be able to find a way to win the game, even if by the minimum margin.
Prediction 3: George Miller to score for Doncaster
Miller has been in good form for Doncaster this season, and he scored twice in the win over Hull. He is the club’s top scorer with four goals in his last five games. Miller is a physical striker who is good at holding the ball up and bringing others into play. He is also a good finisher, and I think he will be a threat to Everton’s defense.
I am predicting that Miller will score at least once against Everton. It will be unlikely that he will be the difference between the two teams, but should at least give Doncaster a consolation goal.
