Our prediction for this League 2 match:
MK Dons will be aiming to bounce back from a massive 5-0 loss to Stockport when they face Walsall in the League Two round 41. The Dons are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Saddlers. All Dean, Harrison, and Norman are pushing for a start as boss Mike Williamson is expected to make changes to the team that faced the Hatters.
Meanwhile, the visiting side aim to stay in the playoffs race, but given MK Dons’ fine home record, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from Friday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team ahead of the trip to Buckinghamshire. In the first half of the season the two sides played out a goalless draw and yet another low-scoring affair is on the horizon.
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.
Speaking of notable coaches, it has to be noted that former Liverpool superstar Robbie Fowler and ex German international Dietmar Hamman were in charge of the club.
