Prediction: 1-1
Oxford United
MK Dons and Oxford United face each other in a highly-anticipated League One game at Stadium MK. The Dons played out a 1-1 draw with Plymouth on Wednesday evening, with the team dropping out of the playoffs berth. Liam Manning’s troops are eyeing their seventh home win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Doncaster.
Since both sides are likely to go for a win in Saturday’s clash, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Experienced midfielder James Henry is pushing for a start for the visiting team as he scored as a substitute in the midweek triumph. In their last meeting in the English third tier the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.

Highlighted Team (Oxford United):
Oxford United are one of the oldest clubs in the League One as they were founded back in 1893. However, Oxford United adopted their current name 67 years later and have been playing under it ever since.
Over the years the Yellows have built a great rivalry with Swindon Town and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two sides. Oxford United play home matches at Kassam Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 12,500. The stadium was built in 1997 and has been Oxford United’s home ground ever since. The Boys from Up the Hill are well known for their yellow and blue colours, but they play their away games in dark blue (with a little yellow) or black kits.
Oxford’s player with the most league appearances is John Shuker, playing 478 games for the club from 1962 to 1977. On the other hand, Jim Magilton is the club’s most capped player in internationals, playing 18 games for Northern Ireland.
