Prediction: 1-2
MK Dons
After failing to win the previous five league matches, Doncaster will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they face MK Dons in the first game of the year. The Donny have been struggling to find their best form of late, with the team losing three of their last four league matches. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, fit-again goalkeeper Louis Jones should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to continue there they left in 2023. The visitors are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the English fourth tier and we predict that they will take advantage of Doncaster’s current form. Max Dean is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting side despite the fact that the 19-year-old failed to find the net in a 2-0 win over Crawley Town.
