MK Dons vs Burton Albion Predictions

MK Dons can dismantle Brewers

MK Dons were 6-1 winners against Doncaster in their last League One game and they should be backed to get the win again when Burton visit stadium:mk on Saturday.

They were in excellent form two weeks ago, when they beat Doncaster 6-1 at home. Aaron Collins scored four times, including the opener in the second minute, with Callum Paterson and Marvin Ekpiteta also on target. MK Dons have won three of the five games in which they’ve scored first this season (60%).

This is a mid-table clash, with MK Dons three places above Burton in the table. The hosts are 12th with four wins, six draws and three losses, while the visitors are 15th on four wins, five draws and five defeats from their 14 games.

MK Dons look to have found the winning formula, having enjoyed three straight League One successes at home.

The visitors have been vulnerable defensively recently, with Burton failing to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 20 League One games. They are on a run of three away days without recording a shutout.

The home side will be confident of finding the net, with MK Dons averaging over two goals a game at home in League One this season. They have been particularly prolific against bottom-half teams, scoring an average of 3.67 goals in their three home games.

The visitors are in a rut. Burton have failed to win any of their last three League One away games, and have lost four of their last six on the road.

MK Dons are in excellent form, having won four of their last five League One matches, including their last three. They have also lost just one of their last eight home games in the league. In contrast, Burton have failed to win five of their last six away games.

MK Dons may be able to edge out Burton in a closely-fought game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Nine of MK Dons’ 13 League One matches this season have seen both teams score.
