Bristol Rovers vs MK Dons Predictions

Rovers can edge out MK Dons

Bristol Rovers are solid favourites to get a fifth consecutive win when they host MK Dons on Saturday. Darrell Clarke’s side have won their last four league games as favourites and should be backed to get the victory at the Memorial Stadium.

MK Dons are five places above Bristol Rovers in the table, but just one point separates the two sides. Both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season, with MK Dons seventh having won five and lost three of their 11 games, while Bristol Rovers are 12th with five wins and four defeats.

Bristol Rovers have enjoyed three straight League Two successes at home and have been winners in four of their last six on their own patch, while they have lost just one of their last ten League Two games at home.

The away side’s defence has been far from solid. MK Dons have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight League Two games and have conceded on each of their last four road trips.

Bristol Rovers have been in goalscoring form, finding the net in nine of their last ten League Two games, including a 3-2 win over Newport last month. They have scored in seven consecutive league matches.

MK Dons’ recent form in League Two has been up and down, with two wins, one draw and three defeats in their last six games. They beat fourth-placed Gillingham 3-2, but also lost 2-1 to 20th-placed Accrington.

Bristol Rovers may be able to edge out MK Dons in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. The last three MK Dons games in League Two have finished with three goals or more and Bristol Rovers have won their last two League Two games by a 2-1 scoreline.
