Aside from international action in the Euro 2020 qualifiers, there’s still fixtures in League One to look at and our next preview features the clash between Bristol Rovers and MK Dons as the betting tips continue at the Memorial Ground.
Bristol Rovers Prediction – Can Bristol Rovers maintain unbeaten home start?
8th placed Bristol Rovers will be looking to register a third consecutive win in League One when they entertain bottom half outfit MK Dons at their Memorial Ground on Saturday afternoon, and in turn extend their unbeaten start to the season at home.
3 wins out of their last 4 matches have helped lift Graham Coughlan’s Bristol Rovers side up into 8th spot in the third tier, and another three points in this clash could see The Pirates climb as high as 3rd depending upon other results of course.
Nevertheless, it’s been an excellent start at home to Rovers’ new campaign and they still remain unbeaten this term at their Memorial Ground with a home record of 3-3-0 10/5 under their belts, which includes wins against Tranmere Rovers, Oxford United and Rotherham United.
Indeed, Rovers are unbeaten in their last 7 matches on home turf, and they’re unbeaten in their previous 4 meetings against MK Dons which will give them confidence of getting a result here. The hosts will have to do without injured striker Clarke-Harris (7 goals) though for this clash.
MK Dons Prediction – Can MK Dons avoid a fifth straight defeat?
Having lost their last 4 matches on the trot in League One, MK Dons won’t be relishing this trip down to the west country to take on an unbeaten Bristol Rovers outfit at the Memorial Ground this Saturday.
Recent defeats to Ipswich Town (H), Southend United (H), Sunderland (A) and Burton Albion (H) have resulted in MK Dons dropping down the league table to 17th place, leaving The Dons 6 points above the relegation zone.
Perhaps more alarming is the fact that 3 of these 4 defeats were inflicted upon MK Dons at their stadium:mk ground, while the visitors have also lost 3 of their 4 away matches so far this season amidst a poor record that stands at 1-0-3 7/7.
Defeats at Wycombe Wanderers, Accrington Stanley and Sunderland have further compounded MK Dons’ poor results, and even a 3-0 win at high-flying Blackpool has seemingly failed to ignite a recovery so far under manager, Paul Tisdale.
The Dons are set to be without forwards Agard and Nombe along with Reeves and Healey.
Key-Facts – Bristol Rovers v MK Dons
- Bristol Rovers are unbeaten in their last 7 matches at home in League One
- MK Dons have lost 3 of their 4 away matches in this season’s League One
- Bristol Rovers are unbeaten in their last 4 meetings against MK Dons
Betting Tips Verdict
Bristol Rovers have been solid at home this term, but as striker Clarke-Harris has been ruled out I can’t pull the trigger on a straight win. Instead, back Rovers with the draw no bet option.
