Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Sheffield Wednesday will be aiming to build on a 3-0 win over Morecambe when they take on MK Dons on Matchday 33. The Owls are determined to secure automatic promotion, but Bolton are still breathing down their neck. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Josh Windass, who scored a brace in the midweek triumph, while Reece James has overcome his injury. Ben Heneghan, though, remains in the recovery room.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a heavy 5-0 loss to Bolton, but given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. You should bear in mind that Sheffield Wednesday defeated MK Dons in each of their last three meetings in the English third tier. Defender Tennai Watson is widely expected to return to the Dons’ starting eleven.
Highlighted Player (Josh Windass):
Born in Hull, England on January 9, 1994, John Windass is a professional footballer who plays for Wigan Athletic. Windass is a product of Huddersfield Town youth academy, but he did not play for the Terriers at senior level.
The 175-cm-tall midfielder began his senior career at Accrington Stanley and after scoring 22 goals in 77 appearances in the league for the club, he moved to Glasgow Rangers in the summer of 2016. Two years later Josh Windass joined Wigan Athletic and he has been playing for the DW Stadium outfit ever since. He scored his first Championship goal on September 18, 2018 in a 2-1 win over Hull City.
His main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as both central midfielder and second striker as well. It has to be noted that Josh is the son of former footballer Dean Windass, who played for the likes of Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Bradford City during his professional career.
Highlighted Team (MK Dons):
Based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes Dons are a League One club that welcome their rivals at Stadium MK. The venue was opened in 2007 and can hold up to 30,500 spectators. Milton Keynes Dons play their home games in white shirts and white shorts, whilst their away kit is red.
The Dons are one of the youngest clubs in England as they were founded in 2004, but they are well known for youth development. English attacker is the club’s all-time top goal-scorer, netting 62 goals in 165 appearances for MK Dons. Dele Alli, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur, is the most famous footballer to have played for the Milton Keynes Dons, netting 18 goals in 62 appearances for the club in the league.
Speaking of notable coaches, it has to be noted that former Liverpool superstar Robbie Fowler and ex German international Dietmar Hamman were in charge of the club.
