Stockport travel for Tuesday night's League One clash as clear favourites, and the Doncaster vs Stockport betting odds make them 8/11 (Paddy Power) to win.
Doncaster were beaten 2-1 at Leicester on Saturday, and Grant McCann has a lengthy injury list to work around before the visit of the division's form side.
Stockport sit second in the table and look the real deal. They have won their last three League One matches, with Kyle Wootton's goal seeing off Bromley on Saturday.
History backs the visitors too. Stockport County have won their last three away matches against Doncaster in all competitions, and Rovers' current form offers little reason to expect that run to end here.
Doncaster vs Stockport Form
Doncaster sit 17th in League One and it shows. A Doncaster win would have landed just 2 times in their last 10 matches against all opponents. A late own goal did them no favours at Leicester, Leon Ayinde's winner against Burton Albion is the most recent bright spot, and a side that struggles defending set pieces is hard to trust.
Stockport are the form side, chasing a fifth straight victory in all competitions. Kyle Wootton has scored in 3 of his last 3 League One appearances, with Jack Diamond adding craft behind him. They play possession football, attack down the wings and create through individual skill, which is exactly what a creaking defence does not want to face.

Stockport to win. The visitors are on a winning run in League One and look a level above a Doncaster side short on bodies.
Kyle Wootton to score anytime. The striker leads the line in the probable XI and has recorded 2+ shots on target in 3 of his last 3 League One appearances.
Both teams to score. Doncaster love a long-range effort, and Stockport's defence is vulnerable to long shots, so Rovers can nick one even on a bad night.

Doncaster vs Stockport Talking Points
Will Keane is the storyline for the hosts. Signed on a short-term deal running until January 2027, the forward could get his first league start here, and Doncaster badly need someone to make the ball stick up top. At the other end, Jim McNulty is back at the club where he won promotion as a player, and his side are playing like a team that fancies the top spot. Keane's experience against Stockport's possession game is the real test, and on current evidence the visitors hold the cards.
