MK Dons vs Tranmere Predictions

MK Dons have been strong at home this season, winning 12 of their 22 League Two games, and they should be backed to get the victory against Tranmere. The visitors have won just six of their 22 away games.

They are second in the league, having won 23, drawn 13 and lost eight of their 44 games this season. Tranmere are 18 places and 42 points behind them in 20th, with ten wins, ten draws and 24 losses.

MK Dons maintained their winning habit with a 3-1 victory away at Crewe last weekend, securing a 13th win in the 22 matches in which they have been odds-on this season. Curtis Nelson opened the scoring on 12 minutes, with Marvin Ekpiteta and Alex Gilbey also netting.

Defensively, there’s been a lot to like about MK Dons this season. They have been impressive at home, conceding just 20 goals in 22 League Two games – an average of 0.91 goals per game.

MK Dons seem to be firing on all cylinders. They have won their last two League Two matches and have only lost one of their last seven head-to-heads with Tranmere.

The MK Dons attack is in prolific form. They have scored two or more goals in 25 of their 44 games this season, and no team has scored more goals in League Two than their 82.

Tranmere have failed to win nine of their last ten League Two games.

No team has shipped more goals in League Two this season than the 75 goals Tranmere have conceded, and the visitors have been unable to keep their opponents at bay in seven straight games. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 league games.

The last League Two meeting between this pair had four goals but four of the previous six encounters had under 2.5 goals, and Tranmere have been on the wrong end of a two-goal deficit in 11 League Two games this season. MK Dons to get the 2-0 home win looks a decent correct-score option.
