Our prediction for this League 2 match:
MK Dons will be aiming to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 loss to AFC Wimbledon when they host Doncaster Rovers at Stadium MK in League Two round 7. The Dons struggled defensively in their last league game, but will be boosted by the return of Tommy Leigh to the starting XI after he was rested in the EFL Trophy loss to Colchester. With no fresh injury concerns, head coach Graham Alexander will be hoping his side can return to winning ways in the League Two.
Doncaster, meanwhile, are also eager to make amends after a 2-0 loss to Harrogate. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for the Donny and will be aiming for a more consistent run of form. Joe Ironside is pushing for a rare start up front, adding competition to their attacking options. Both teams have been struggling at the back of late and a tendency to concede goals, meaning that this could be a high-scoring contest. Taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Team (MK Dons):
