MK Dons
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Barnsley
Following back-to-back defeats to Charlton Athletic and Fleetwood Town, MK Dons will look to escape the danger zone when they take on Barnsley on Matchday 45. The Dons are desperate to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash, but they will have a big fish to fry against Michael Duff’s troops. All Devoy, Grant, and Holland are pushing for a start after the trio came off the bench in a 1-0 defeat to Fleetwood Town.
The visitors, on the other hand, have little to play for in the season finale as they have already secured their spot in the playoffs. Since MK Dons want this win more than the Tykes, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to England. In their last meeting at the venue MK Dons defeated Barnsley 2-0.
Highlighted Player (Will Grigg):
Wighan Athletic striker Will Grigg became a viral sensation during the European Championship in France but the chances are any avid football fan will have been well aware of his goalscoring exploits even before 2016. The 27-year-old forward began his career at Stratford Town but it was in Walsall that the world took notice of his presence after 27 goals in 99 performances for the club.
He first came to prominence during the 2012/13 season when he was voted the club’s Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season, but a loan spell at Milton Keynes Dons during his rather unfortunate two-year spell over at Brentford proved crucial for his career.
The total of 20 goals in 44 appearances at Stadium MK was where Wigan Athletic noticed the Northern Ireland man and moved in to sign him on a three year contract for a £1 million fee in 2015. ‘Will Grigg’s on Fire’ was the hit song of the Euro 2016 even though the Northern Ireland striker ended up not getting a chance to make a bow in the tournament.
Highlighted Team (Barnsley):
Barnsley are an English club nicknamed the Tykes. The club was founded in 1887 and it has to be noted that they spend more seasons in the Championship than any other club in the history. The Tykes played in the Sheffield and District League from 1890, but in 1895 they were part of the Midland League. Barnsley play their home games at Oakwell, the stadium that was built in 1887.
The capacity of the stadium is 23,009 and it was opened back in 1888, just one year after the club’s foundation. The Tykes made it to the FA Cup final in 1910, but Newcastle United proved to be a big catch for the Oakwell outfit in the title game.
Nonetheless, Barnsley won the FA cup trophy in 1912 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Barnsley defeated West Bromwich Albion in the two-legged tie (0-0, 1-0) to clinch the prestigious trophy for the first and only time in their history.
