Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Swindon Town, MK Dons will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Cheltenham Town on Matchday 16. MK Dons are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Cheltenham. Scotland forward Callum Hendry is pushing for a start after getting his name on the scoresheet in the EFL Trophy loss to Leyton Orient, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Robins, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, winning four of the previous five games in all competitions. As Cheltenham defeated both Colchester and Carlisle in the previous two away games in the League Two, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from Saturday’s encounter. MK Dons defenders should pay special attention on talented Wales midfielder Joel Colwill, who scored a brace in Cheltenham’s FA Cup win over Reading.
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.
