Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Stadium MK will host Saturday’s football game between MK Dons and Doncaster Rovers. MK Dons have been showing signs of improvement at the start of 2022, with the team sharing the spoils with Gillingham and Accrington, while beating both AFC Wimbledon and Portsmouth. The hosts are brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Doncaster, and, no doubt, they want to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive. Since head coach Liam Manning has a full squad to choose from, home win should be considered.
The Donny, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team being stuck at the bottom of the table. Given Doncaster’s five-game losing run in the League One, we predict that the Dons are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s clash. All Okenabirhie, Close, John, Bostock, and Anderson should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
