Wycombe Wanderers vs MK Dons Predictions

• MK Dons beat Wycombe three times during the regular season
• MK Dons had the second-best away record in League One this season
• Scott Twine has scored 20 league goals this campaign 

Chairboys timed play-off run to perfection

Wycombe were rewarded for some impressive late season form as victory over Burton on the final day of the regular season saw them force their way into the League One play-offs at the expense of Plymouth. The Chairboys ended the season unbeaten in their final 12 matches, a run which extends back to March 1^st and now face MK Dons over two-legs for a place in another Wembley final with the hope of securing an immediate return to the Championship.

Dons have got the measure of Thursday’s hosts

MK Dons appear to have the measure of Wycombe this season. Liam Manning’s side have beaten Gareth Ainsworth’s charge on three occasions during the regular season – a 2-1 victory in the group stages of the EFL Trophy was sandwiched between victories in both the home and away league meetings. MK Dons surely pose a psychological edge going into Thursday’s first leg at Adams Park and must surely fancy their chances of success over the two legs against a side who they have now beaten the last four times they have faced each other.

Twine expected to shine again

For those that are not regular followers of League One, the one player you must watch out for on Thursday is MK Dons’ Scott Twine. Twine scored four times on the final day of the regular season against Plymouth, scuppering The Pilgrims play-off hopes almost single-handily in the process. Twine will most likely be playing at a higher-level next season with or without MK Dons and is expected to take centre stage in front of the TV cameras on Thursday. Twine scored 20 times in League One this season and can be backed at 2/1 to add to his impressive tally by scoring anytime against Wycombe on Thursday.

MK Dons are expected to take a lead going into the second leg and can be backed accordingly on Thursday night. MK Dons were unlucky not to go up automatically and can take their frustrations out on a Wycombe side whom they have beaten on three occasions already this season. In the correct score market, a chance can be taken on the visitors leaving Adams Park with a 2-1 advantage going into the second leg – the score line when these sides met in the EFL Trophy back in October. A three-pronged attack on Thursday’s game can be rounded off by backing Scott Twine to score anytime at around 2/1, Twine bagged the only goal in MK Dons 1-0 victory at Adams Park in January.
