EFL Cup Betting Preview: Tottenham vs Doncaster

Premier League club Tottenham host League One team Doncaster in this EFL Cup match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with kick-off set for 15:45 on Wednesday 24 September. Our betting preview features expert predictions, betting tips, the latest odds, H2H stats, team news and confirmed lineups.

Spurs Set for Big Win

We’ll wager Tottenham -2 to beat Doncaster at odds of -116. The Asian Handicap favourites can deliver a return if we land a victory by three or more goals, with the insurance of money back if they win by two.

Doncaster Bidding to Bounce Back After Loss

Tottenham Hotspur drew away from home in their last game. A 2-2 Premier League scoreline was played out against Brighton at American Express Stadium. Thomas Frank's side enjoyed 64% possession and had three shots on target, while Richarlison and Jan Paul van Hecke (own goal) scored one goal each.

Doncaster Rovers lost their previous game, being beaten at home to AFC Wimbledon 2-1 at Eco-Power Stadium in League One.

In their last EFL Cup game, Doncaster were away to Accrington Stanley and won 2-0.
