Tottenham Hotspur vs Doncaster Rovers Preview – Match Preview

Tottenham have started the season well under Thomas Frank, winning four of their first six matches. They beat Burnley 3-0 at home and Manchester City 2-0 away, then lost 1-0 to Bournemouth. After the international break, they defeated West Ham 3-0 and Villarreal 1-0. On Saturday, Spurs trailed 2-0 at Brighton but fought back for a 2-2 draw thanks to Richarlison and an own goal.

Doncaster shocked Middlesbrough with a 4-0 win in the EFL Cup first round, then beat Accrington 2-0 in the second round. They won three straight league games after that Accrington victory, before a 3-0 loss at Wigan. In their most recent match, Doncaster lost 2-1 at home to AFC Wimbledon: Owen Bailey scored early in the second half, but they conceded twice in the final 20 minutes.
