Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at the New Lawn when Forest Green and MK Dons lock horns in a highly-anticipated League Two game. The Green Army desperately needed a win against Crewe and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game losing run and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. A man to watch in the relegation-threatened teams will be Jordan Garrick, who scored a brace against the Railwaymen.
The Dons, on the other hand, have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Experienced forward Ellis Harrison should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a brace in a 3-3 draw with Notts County. Given MK Dons’ attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting at the venue MK Dons defeated Forest Green 2-1, which goes in favour of our previous prediction.
Highlighted Team (Forest Green):
Forest Green are an English club which was founded back in 1889. The Rovers host fellow League Two teams at the New Lawn, the stadium with the capacity of 5,302. Forest Green played their first home league game on October 6, 1889, with the team sharing the spoils with Brimscombe.
