Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Portsmouth will be looking to stay in the playoffs race when they take on MK Dons in a highly-anticipated game at Fratton Park. The Pompey failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with ten-man Cambridge United, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Both Jacobs and Brown are pushing for the start, speaking of the home team.
The Dons, on the other hand, did well to beat ten-man AFC Wimbledon at home thanks to O’Riley’s goal, and given their fine away record in the League One (5-4-3), we predict that the visitors are capable of holding Portsmouth to a draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the away side ahead of Saturday’s clash. In the first half of the season MK Dons defeated Portsmouth 1-0 in front of home fans.
