Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Abbey Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Cambridge United and MK Dons. The U’s experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 6-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday, with the team dropping to 15th place in the standings. Since Cambridge United have little to play for in the season finale, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered.
Mark Bonner should opt to make changes to the team that suffered the Hillsborough defeat, with both Knibbs and O’Neil pushing for a start. The Dons, on the other hand, aim to climb to automatic promotion berth, and given their fine form in March, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s clash. You should know that MK Dons rolled over Cambridge United 4-1 in the first half of the season.
