Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Sheffield Wednesday welcome MK Dons to their Hillsborough in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Tuesday’s program. The Owls aim to build on a 3-2 win over Accrington, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against MK Dons. Important attacker Lee Gregory has overcome his injury, but he is widely expected to start from the bench. You should know that Sheffield Wednesday are after their fifth home win of the process.
The Dons are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. There are no absentees in the away team ahead of the trip to Sheffield. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams played out a goalless draw, and yet another share of spoils is on the cards.

Born in Sydney, Australia on September 25, 1992 Massimo Luongo attended Waverley College. In 2009 he won the championship with the team and two years later he was spotted by Tottenham Hotspur scouts.
