Prediction: 2-2
Bristol Rovers
MK Dons and Bristol Rovers square off against each other at Stadium MK in what is expected to be a very entertaining match. MK Dons are only one point clear of the relegation zone, with the team failing to win the previous four league fixtures. The hosts aim to put an end to the negative trend, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football game.
Experienced midfielder Andrew Surman is pushing for a start. Bristol Rovers, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over AFC Wimbledon and Plymouth. The visitors aim to move away from the danger zone as well, and seeing that both sides are likely to go for a win in the Stadium MK clash, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score.

Highlighted Team (Bristol Rovers):
Established back on August 1, 1883, Bristol Rovers are one of the oldest clubs in the League One. Bristol Rovers were formed after a meeting at the Eastville Restaurant under the name of Black Arabs after the Arabs rugby team.
This name, though, lasted no more than one season as the club was renamed Eastville Rovers in 1884. Five years later the club’s name was officially changes to Bristol Rovers. Nicknamed the Pirates, Bristol Rovers welcome their opponents at Memorial Stadium Horfield, the venue with the capacity of 12,296. Bristol Rovers are well known for their blue and white home kit, but they are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels.
Ricky Lambert, who used to play for the likes of Southampton and Liverpool in the Premier League, is regarded as one of the club’s most notable footballers. It has to be noted that Lambert scored 51 goals in 128 appearances for the Pirates in the league.
