Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a 1-0 loss to Grimsby, MK Dons will look to climb to the automatic promotion berth when they face Crewe on Saturday afternoon. The Dons are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Both Emre Tezgel and Matthew Dennis are pushing for recalls to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in the last league fixture.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, defeated Sutton thanks to Elliott Nevitt’s goal. The 27-year-old forward is widely expected to return to the starting XI as Courtney Baker-Richardson limped off with injury in the midweek triumph. Crewe Alexandra and MK Dons seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Lee Bell is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.

Born on the 12th of July, 1994, in Khartoum, Sudan, Mo Eisa is a Sudanese professional footballer who plays for Peterborough United in the third tier of English Football. The 6ft tall striker/ winger is a Pro Touch Soccer Academy product.

On the 7th of July, 2017, Eisa signed a contract with League Two outfit Cheltenham Town and made his league debut on the 5th of August, 2017.

Crewe Aleandra are a professional football club that welcome their rivals at Gresty Road. The stadium was built in 1906, and it can hold up to 10,153 spectators.
