Our prediction for this League 2 match:
The Wham Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Accrington Town and MK Dons. The Accy Stanley aim to build on back-to-back wins over Forest Green and Grimsby Town and a triumph over MK Dons could see them climb to the playoffs berth. Shaun Whalley is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, with Tommy Leigh likely to drop to the bench.
The Dons, on the other hand, are on a four-game winless run on the road, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Accrington. The Accy Stanley defenders should have Max Dean at bay as the teenage forward scored a brace in the 2-2 draw with Barrow. In their last encounter in the English third tier MK Dons defeated Accrington Town 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Mo Eisa):
Born on the 12th of July, 1994, in Khartoum, Sudan, Mo Eisa is a Sudanese professional footballer who plays for Peterborough United in the third tier of English Football. The 6ft tall striker/ winger is a Pro Touch Soccer Academy product.
The initial years of his career were spent playing non-league football with teams like Dartford, Leatherhead, and Greenwich Borough, the latter for whom he scored over 50 goals in 100 appearances. On the 7th of July, 2017, Eisa signed a contract with League Two outfit Cheltenham Town and made his league debut on the 5th of August, 2017.
A prolific season with the Robins earned him the Supporters' Player Of The Year and the Players' Player Of The Year awards at the end of the season. For the 18/19 season, the 25-year-old joined Championship side Bristol for a brief stint before returning to League One with Peterborough for the following season on a four-year contract.
Highlighted Team (Accrington):
Founded back in 1891 and reformed in 1968, Accrington Stanley are an English football club that compete in the League One. The original team competed in the Football League from 1921 to 1962, spending the last four seasons in Lancashire Combination.
The Accy are well known for their red home kit, whilst they wear sky blue shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. The League One side play their home games at Crown Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 5,450 spectators (3,100 seated). Accrington have been playing at Crown Ground since 1970.
Listed as the all-time favourite player amongst fans, Chris Grimshaw is one of the most famous Accrington Stanley footballers. However, George Stewart is the team’s top scorer, netting 136 goals in total from 1954 to 1958. It has to be noted that the Accy have yet to represent England in European competitions.
