Prediction: 2-0
MK Dons
Burton Albion and MK Dons square off against each other at Pirelli Stadium in a highly-anticipated League One game. The Brewers aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Wycombe and Rotherham, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win on home soil. A man to watch in the home team will be No. 9 Kane Hemmings, who found the net in the last league match. The Dons, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Oxford United.
Considering that Burton have been impressive in front of home fans of late, we predict that MK Dons are going to return to Milton Keynes empty-handed. In their last meeting in the English third tier MK Dons defeated Burton Albion 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Ireland teenager Troy Parrott should continue to lead the line for the visitors.
