Shrewsbury vs MK Dons Predictions

Hosts can spring a surprise

Shrewsbury should be backed to stun MK Dons at home in League Two on Saturday. The visitors are a bad price – they have lost their last three league games as favourites – and Shrewsbury manager Michael Appleton will be confident of getting a result against Paul Warne’s side.

MK Dons are nine places above Shrewsbury in the table, with seven points separating the two teams. The hosts are 23rd having won once and lost six of their nine games, while MK Dons sit 14th with three wins, three draws and three defeats.

MK Dons lost 2-1 at home to Accrington in their last League Two game and have failed to win four of the six games in which they have been priced odds-on this season. They didn’t create many chances either which is a problem.

The away side’s recent form on the road is a concern. MK Dons have failed to win five of their last six League Two games and have lost three of their last four. They have gone four games without recording a victory.

The MK Dons defence has been far from solid of late, with the visitors failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six League Two games. They have also gone three games without shutting out the opposition on their travels.

Shrewsbury may be able to edge out MK Dons in a close encounter, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both sides have scored in MK Dons’ last three League Two matches, and they have lost out by the odd goal in three of their last four.
