Prediction: 2-1
Fleetwood
MK Dons and Fleetwood square off against each other in a highly-anticipated League One showdown at Stadium MK. MK Dons look determined to secure promotion to the Championship, and they will give 100% to extend their winning run to four games. Teenage attacker Troy Parrott should keep his place up front after scoring the winner against Wycombe at the weekend, while Mohamed Eisa is a major doubt.
Fleetwood, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous five league fixtures. The visitors aim to extend their unbeaten run, but given MK Dons’ fine form, we predict that Simon Grayson’s troops are going to return home empty-handed. Brad Haliday is a long-term absentee, as well as Darnell Johnson, who has been struggling with an Achilles tendon injury. In their last meeting at the venue MK Dons recorded a 3-1 win over Fleetwood.
