Prediction: 1-3
MK Dons
Saturday’s football game between Newport County and MK Dons will open round 5 of the new League Two campaign. The Exiles have suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three games in all competitions and they face yet another difficult task against MK Dons. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, midfielder Cameron Antwi should be recalled to the starting XI following his fine performance in a 1-0 loss to Salford.
The Dons, on the other hand, are seen as one of the main candidates for promotion, but they need to keep on making progress to secure a top-two finish. Anyhow, MK Dons are more of a team than Newport County and given their fine performance in a 5-0 crushing of Cheltenham at the weekend, away win should be considered. With Joe Tomlinson limping off with injury in a midweek draw with Crawley Town, Aaron Nemane is widely expected to start against Newport.
