Port Vale vs MK Dons Predictions

With 10 games played of the League Two season, it is a pretty good opportunity to take stock of how things have gone so far and where improvements can be made. For Port Vale, they know that there is plenty more in the tank and if they are going to accomplish their ultimate aim of winning promotion back to League One, then they know that winning matches such as this Tuesaday’s clash with the MK Dons is essential.

Despite a slow start to the campaign, things are on an upward curve for Port Vale at the moment and they come into this match having claimed eight points from their previous four matches. A major part of the success they have enjoyed this season has come thanks to their work at the back and the nine goals they have conceded so far this season represents an excellent return.

Making the trip to Vale Park is an MK Dons side who are hoping their own strong defensive capabilities will be enough to help them reclaim their spot in League One. The Dons have conceded just eight times this season but even though they have scored in each of their previous seven matches, they have failed to score more than once in the league since the opening match of the campaign.

With defenses ruling both of these sides, it should come as little surprise to learn that 70% of Port Vale’s matches and 80% of MK Dons’ matches have had under 2.5 goals in total. This, combined with the fact that each of the previous five meetings between these sides have also finished with less than 2.5 goals scored, suggests to us that backing this run to continue is the way to go.
