Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a thrilling 4-1 win over Bradford City, MK Dons will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Swindon Town on Matchday 16. The Dons quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Accrington, but they do not want to stop now. A man to watch in the home team will be defender Joe Tomlinson, who was named man of the match on Tuesday evening.
sThe Robins, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Newport, sharing the spoils with Salford, while losing to Gillingham. Swindon Town have been struggling on the road in October and given MK Dons’ excellent display in the midweek victory, home win should be considered. Swindon forward Rushian Hepburn-Murphy is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the last three league fixtures.
