MK Dons vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

• Sheffield Wednesday have lost one of their last ten matches
• MK Dons are unbeaten in their last 15 matches
• Sheffield Wednesday won the reverse fixture 2-1 at Hillsborough in November

Both sides are in fine fettle

The game of the weekend in League One comes at Stadium MK on Saturday evening as second placed MK Dons host fellow promotion hopefuls Sheffield Wednesday. MK Dons go into Saturday’s game unbeaten in their last 15 matches, Liam Manning’s side last tasted defeat on the 22^{nd of} January.

Darren Moore’s Sheffield Wednesday side will arrive in Buckinghamshire equally as confident as the hosts. The Owls are unbeaten in their last six and have lost one of their last ten matches, a run that has propelled themselves into the play-offs and are currently fifth with just five games to go. A win would for Wednesday would go a long way to sealing a spot in the play-offs.

Wednesday can make experience count

In games of this magnitude, it is nice to be able to lean on experience. Sheffield Wednesday’s squad is laced with experience and several of their players have been involved in games of far greater significance. The average age of the MK Dons side that faced Crewe last time out was just 24, not many of their young squad would have played in games of this importance. MK Dons will be keen to dodge the play-offs and win on Saturday will keep their grasp on an automatic promotion spot.

Sheffield Wednesday can lean on the reverse fixture for further encouragement going into Saturday’s game – The Owls ran out 2-1 winners when these two sides met at Hillsborough in November.  The main selection for Saturday’s game will be Sheffield Wednesday in the outright market. It may pay to side with experience in this one and I think Sheffield Wednesday are the likeliest winners. In the correct score market, I will chance a 2-0 away victory.
