Sunderland vs MK Dons Predictions

• Sunderland have won one of their last eight matches
• MK Dons have lost one of their last eight matches
• MK Dons are unbeaten in their last seven away league matches

Turmoil has kicked in at Sunderland

Sunderland have won just one of their last eight games and it’s a poor run that has seen hopes of an automatic promotion spot all but dashed. Things were looking very optimistic at the turn of the year, but Sunderland are used to turmoil and things have kicked into overdrive lately. Lee Johnson was sacked in January following a 6-0 defeat away at Bolton – he was named manager of the month just a month prior. More off field issues have now come to light at the worst possible time with manager less Sunderland now at risk of dropping out the top six all together unless they can quickly address their terrible recent run.

MK Dons the main danger to the top two

In complete contrast to Saturday’s hosts, things could hardly be going any better for MK Dons of late. The Dons have lost one of their last eight matches and have been particularly impressive on the road in recent times. Liam Manning’s men are unbeaten in their last seven away League One matches. MK Dons have taken an impressive 29 points from 16 away games so far this season and have established themselves are the main danger to Rotherham and Wigan.

The main selection for this game will be MK Dons in the outright market. MK Dons have been in terrific form on the road all season and I make them slightly overpriced against a Sunderland team devoid of confidence. In the correct score market, I will chance a 2-1 away win.
