Our prediction for this League 2 match:
MK Dons will look to make a great comeback in the League Two playoffs tie with Crawley Town when the two teams face each other at Stadium MK on Saturday evening. The Dons failed to impress in a 3-0 loss at the Broadfield Stadium, but they should not be written off just yet. Matthew Davis remains on the sidelines with injury, while Kyran Lofthouse should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the reverse fixture, but seeing that MK Dons have turned their stadium into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Barring any fresh injury worries, Scott Lindsey is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed MK Dons in the first leg. In their last meeting at the venue MK Dons defeated Crawley Town 2-0.
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.
