Prediction: 1-1
MK Dons
Mansfield Town and MK Dons take on each other at One Call Stadium in a highly-anticipated League Two game. The Yellows have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Newport County, losing to Swindon Town, while sharing the spoils with Tranmere. Mansfield are undefeated at home ground this term, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. Fit-again forward Lucas Akins should keep his place up front, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Dons have been in a fine form of late as well, with the team aiming to move closer to the playoffs berth. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we are tempted to put our money on draw. In their last meeting at the venue the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
