Our prediction for this League 1 match:
MK Dons will be aiming to extend their winning run in the League One to four games when they take on Doncaster Rovers in the League One round 38. MK Dons aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Scott Fraser, who has found his goalscoring touch of late, should keep his place in the starting XI. As always, experienced attacker Cameron Jerome will lead the line for the hosts.
The Donny came from two goals behind to share the spoils with Gillingham, with the team retaining their spot in top six. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on MK Dons, who have been in a splendid form of late. You should bear in mind that Doncaster suffered five defeats in the previous six away games in the English third tier.
