Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at Stadium MK pits together MK Dons and Walsall, the two teams who are sitting in the opposite halves of the table. MK Dons have already suffered three defeats in the new League Two campaign, but this match could be the turning point for the home side. Talented forward Sonny Finch is a major doubt after suffering an injury in a 1-0 loss to Salford City on Monday evening.
The Saddlers, on the other hand, aim to overtake Gillingham in top position in the standings, but beating MK Dons on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the round 5 clash. The likes of Oisin McEntee, Josh Gordon, and Liam Gordon have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the visiting team.
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.
