Oddschecker’s Leon Blackman: “Grant McCann’s Doncaster side have been catching the eyes on League Two punters on Oddschecker so far this season.

"After the opening two matchdays, Donny is the most popular bet to be crowned League Two champions this season. However, it is another trend which should capture the attention of Rovers fans.

"Over the past 10 seasons, the most popular bet to finish inside the Top 3 in August has gone on to do so eight times. So far in August, Doncaster are by far the most popular selection with 32 per cent of all bets placed.”
