Our prediction for this League 2 match:
MK Dons play host to Gillingham at their Stadium MK in what is expected to be an interesting League Two encounter. The Dons are eyeing their seventh consecutive league win and they must be brimming with confidence following a 3-0 triumph over Chesterfield. A man to watch in the home team will be Alex Gilbey, who has been scoring goals for fun of late. There are no fresh injury worries in the home side.
The Gills, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Salford. Gillingham, though, have already suffered four defeats on the travels this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling MK Dons’ party at Stadium MK. Joseph Gbode limped off with injury in the last league match, with Jack Nolan being ready to step up. Last time out MK Dons defeated Gillingham 2-1 at the venue.
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.
