Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Colchester United will look to record their first league win of the season when they take on MK Dons in the League Two round 2. The U’s quickly bounced back from a 4-2 loss to AFC Wimbledon, with the team beating Reading on penalties in their EFL Cup opener, but they do not want to stop now. A man to watch in the home side will be Tom Hopper, who found the net in the midweek triumph, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Dons, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 defeat to Watford, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on Colchester. As for the visiting side, both Alex Gilbey and Stephen Wearne should be recalled to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in the EFL Cup loss.
Highlighted Team (MK Dons):
Based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes Dons are a League One club that welcome their rivals at Stadium MK. The venue was opened in 2007 and can hold up to 30,500 spectators. Milton Keynes Dons play their home games in white shirts and white shorts, whilst their away kit is red.
The Dons are one of the youngest clubs in England as they were founded in 2004, but they are well known for youth development. English attacker is the club’s all-time top goal-scorer, netting 62 goals in 165 appearances for MK Dons. Dele Alli, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur, is the most famous footballer to have played for the Milton Keynes Dons, netting 18 goals in 62 appearances for the club in the league.
Speaking of notable coaches, it has to be noted that former Liverpool superstar Robbie Fowler and ex German international Dietmar Hamman were in charge of the club.
