Our prediction for this League 2 match:
All eyes will be on Stadium MK when MK Dons and Mansfield Town square off against each other in the League Two derby. The Dons proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Forest Green, with the team keeping their automatic promotion hopes alive, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the fellow promotion candidates. Barring any fresh injury worries, Mike Williamson is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Green Army.
The Yellows, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Forest Green on Tuesday evening to stay in top three in the standings. Beating MK Dons, though, on the road is easier said than done and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of Saturday’s derby.
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.
