DRFC Coppinger to get Rovers back on track?

Bournemouth and Doncaster Rovers meet on the south coast this afternoon with both clubs looking for a return to winning ways.

Bournemouth have seen an alarming drop in form since reaching the summit of League One last month. The Cherries have lost four in a row since and have dropped out of the play-off places.

Boss Eddie Howe will be looking to rally his troops and bookmakers Paddypower make Bournemouth even money favourites to claim all three points.

Rovers suffered a surprise 3-0 defeat at MK Dons in midweek but still lead the League One table.

Boss Brian Flynn will be looking for a response from his players and they are 5/2 to return north with the points and it is 23/10 on the points being shared.

Only Brett Pittman has scored in their last five games and the striker is 9/2 to score the opener this afternoon.

Fellow striker Lewis Grabban will be looking to get back on the scoresheet. Grabban has netted 13 times this season already and he is also 9/2 for the opener.

James Coppinger scored his first goal of the season for Rovers last weekend and he looked the most likely to score in the midweek defeat. Coppinger is 16/1 to score the first goal this afternoon.

James Husband remains a great price for the first goal for Rovers. The versatile player, who usually plays in defence, has been playing on the wing in recent games, netting twice and he is 50/1 to score first.
