MK Dons vs Cambridge United Predictions

• MK Dons have won four of their seven home games in the league, losing only to title challengers Rotherham and Sunderland.
• Cambridge have just two away wins in seven attempts in the league.
• However, the U’s have scored in all of those away fixtures.

MK Dons can make home advantage count

MK Dons and Cambridge United meet in League One on Saturday in what could be a key fixture in the fight for the play-off spots.

The Dons sit seventh and are just two points adrift of the play-off places, while Cambridge are three points further back in 10th.

Cambridge head into this clash in good form after back-to-back league wins but they may well come unstuck against MK Dons, who are starting to look like a real force at their Stadium MK base.

Liam Manning’s men have four wins, one draw and two defeats from seven home games so far. That may not look like a great return, but their two losses have come against title challengers Rotherham and Sunderland and they have recorded victories over the likes of Wycombe Wanderers, Portsmouth and Charlton.

Cambridge good for a goal

Cambridge have proven to be tough to beat and are among the league’s draw specialists with seven stalemates in 15 games so far. The U’s have only lost two of their seven trips, but draws against poor sides such as Crewe and Doncaster on the road aren’t necessarily encouraging results either.

A home win stands out as our main bet here due to the results MK Dons have picked up in Milton Keynes this term. Cambridge have managed to score in all seven of their league trips so far and may be able to get a goal on Saturday so a 2-1 win for MK Dons is the correct score selection.
