Our prediction for this League 2 match:
MK Dons play host to Grimsby Town at their Stadium MK on day 20 of the new League Two campaign. The Dons have been in a promising form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league matches, while sharing the spoils with Newport County. A man to watch in the home team will be pacey wing-back Joe Tomlison, who scored a brace in a 4-2 loss to Salford, while Mike Williamson has no fresh injury worries.
The Mariners, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, but given their anything but good away record (0-4-5), home win should be considered. As Grimsby have yet to record a win on the road this term, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling MK Dons’ party at Stadium MK. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Buckinghamshire.

The likes of Hull City and Scunthorpe United are regarded as the club’s main rivals.
