Doncaster v Leeds Odds: Back Ross McCormack in the betting to score first

Doncaster and Leeds have both recovered well from poor starts to the season and the two sides will meet in Friday night's live Championship match at the Keepmoat Stadium. Leeds start as 13/10 favourites with Bet 365 and they look good value to pick up a first away win of the season, while Doncaster are priced 2/1, with the draw coming in at odds of 12/5.

Twentieth placed Doncaster have reversed a quite woeful start that saw them lose six of their opening seven league matches. That run ultimately cost Sean O'Driscoll his job but Dean Saunders has since come in and managed to steady the ship as they are now unbeaten in three matches.

That unbeaten run included matches against Peterborough, Hull and Crystal Palace though, and we fancy that Leeds will offer a step up in quality this Friday. Doncaster have managed to win only one of their last five matches against Leeds and if they are to rise from twentieth position in the division they are going to have to find a regular goalscorer.

No Doncaster player has scored more than one goal this season and the opposition has scored first in 80% of their league matches, with Leeds 8/11 on to score first with B365.

Meanwhile, all of Doncaster's home matches this season have involved under 2.5 goals, as have four of the last six meetings between Doncaster and Leeds, with under 2.5 available at evens on Friday.

Eleventh placed Leeds too had a tough start to the season but they are now unbeaten in the league in their last four matches and they have no such worries with scoring goals. They have scored in every match away from Elland Road and Ross McCormack in particular has been in excellent form. McCormack has nine goals for the season, including six in his last six, and he looks a very decent punt to be first goalscorer at industry best priced odds of 6/1 with Bet365.com.

Simon Grayson is sweating over the fitness of Rob Snodgrass for this weekend's match as his side look to improve their recent away record. Leeds are yet to win away in the league and it is a worry that they are yet to keep a clean sheet away from home, with B365 going 4/6 on that both teams score on Friday.

Both teams scored when the two sides met in the Carling Cup in August, a match Leeds won 2-1 at the Keepmoat Stadium and the correct score of 2-1 again can be backed at odds of 8/1. Leeds certainly look good value to pick up that elusive first league away win of the season and the Leeds win by a margin of one goal looks particularly good value at 3/1.
