Bristol Rovers to enhance play-off chances against MK Dons

Bristol Rovers to enhance play-off chances against MK Dons
2058

On New Year’s Day, two teams with very different objectives in League One, Milton Keynes Dons and Bristol Rovers meet at Stadium MK.

The home side are currently in the League One relegation zone, while the visitors are looking to move into the play-off spots with a victory in this clash.

After an awful start to their League One campaign, MK Dons seem to have now recovered and their results have improved of late. A 3-1 win over Portsmouth means that they have now suffered just one defeat in their last five matches in the league. Despite their recent recovery, a record of two wins in 16 League One outings is not a great one.

One clean sheet in their last ten league games has been a major factor in recent poor results of late.

Home has not offered much comfort to MK Dons of late, as they have won just two of their last eight league matches. However, those two victories have been in their last two home games in League One.

Their recent home games in the league have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches.

Bristol Rovers are only outside the play-off berths by virtue of inferior goal difference to sixth-place Peterborough. A three-game winless run in League One, including a 0-0 draw at Fleetwood last time out, has not helped their chances of moving into the play-off spots.

Having enjoyed a pretty prolific season in League One, the goals seem to have dried up for the Pirates of late, as they have found the net just once in their last three league outings.

Forebet predicts that the visitors will get back to winning and scoring ways by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
