Prediction: 3-1
Salford
Buoyed by a thrilling 2-1 win over league leaders Mansfield Town, MK Dons will look to climb to top three when they face Salford City on Saturday afternoon. The Dons quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to AFC Wimbledon, but they need to keep on making progress in the remainder of the season if they are to secure automatic promotion to the League One. Talented forward Matthew Dennis should keep his place up front as a lone centre-forward after the 21-year-old found the net in the midweek triumph.
The Lions, on the other hand, head into the season finale with the lack of motivation as they are 13 points clear of the relegation zone. Given MK Dons’ fine performance in the victory over Mansfield, home win should definitely be considered. Forward Callum Morton is widely expected to return to Salford’s starting XI as boss Karl Robinson should opt to make changes to the team that suffered the 2-0 loss to Gillingham.

Conor McAleny is a product of Everton youth academy, joining the club from Merseyside in 2003 at the age of 11.
