Hull City vs Doncaster Rovers Prediction and Betting Tips | January 12, 2025

Hull City face Doncaster Rovers at the MKM Stadium on Sunday in the third round of the FA Cup. The hosts have struggled in the Championship and will hope for better luck in the cup.

They were knocked out at this stage of the competition last season, losing 2-1 to Birmingham City in a replay. The Tigers have failed to advance past the third round of the Cup in the last three seasons.

Doncaster, meanwhile, kicked off their cup campaign at Barrow in November, winning 1-0, with Patrick Kelly scoring the winner seven minutes from time. They then beat amateur side Kettering Town 2-1 in the next round, with veteran striker Billy Sharp scoring a brace.

The Rovers are appearing at this stage of the FA Cup for the first time since the 2020-21 season.

Ruben Selles' men are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and have won just once at the MKM Stadium since October.

Doncaster, meanwhile, have won one of their last four matches and two of their last eight. They are winless in three away matches and could see defeat against a much stronger side on the road.
