Prediction: 2-0
MK Dons
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Salford City and Newport County, Mansfield Town will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on MK Dons in a postponed League Two game. The Yellows are eager to retain top position in the standings, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Experienced forward Lucas Akins is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match.
The Dons, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to their bitter rivals AFC Wimbledon, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the league leaders this time out. In the first half of the season MK Dons defeated Mansfield Town 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
