League 1 Play Off - Doncaster v. Southend
Doncaster take on Southend tonight in the 2nd leg of their Play Off Semi Final with the winner earning the right to play Leeds in the Final at Wembley later this month.
The first leg last week ended 0-0 at Southends Roots Hall Ground and as a result i feel the balance of the tie has swung in Doncasters favour. They have beaten Southend on the last 3 occasions that they have entertained the Shrimpers which included a 3-1 win in the regular season.
Doncaster will have striker Phil Hefferman suspended after his red card in the first leg and he will be a big miss,but Southend also have a doubt over striker Lee Barnard who will face a late fitness test.
Totesport are best price 21/20 about a Doncaster win tonight in 90 minutes and it is enough to get me interested given Doncaster had a good record at the Keepmoat Stadium in the regular season with 14 wins 4 draws 5 defeats 34 goals scored and only 18 conceded.
Southend had a respectable away record as you would expect from team in the play offs with 10 wins on the road but they suffered 9 defeats and conceded 35 goals to go with the 35 they scored.
So for me Doncaster to win and set up a Yorkshire Derby with Leeds which if it happens will be worth
