Milton Keynes Dons
- Milton Keynes Dons are second in League Two with 74 points from 40 matches.
- MK Dons have won ten away games, scoring 2.00 goals per game on the road.
- MK Dons’ form is arguably better, having lost their last two and won three of their last five in the league.
Oldham
- Oldham are 10th with 61 points from 39 games.
- Oldham have been in excellent form themselves with four wins from their last five and a dominant 3-0 win over Notts County last time out at home.
Head-to-Head
- Monday’s League Two match between two of the divisions’ top teams promises to be a close and competitive game with no clear winner, as the last head-to-head match in the fourth tier suggests (0-0).
- Oldham have enjoyed a resurgence under Micky Mellon, who always sets up his teams to press the ball high and attack with numbers in the wide areas.
- The Latics employ a 3-5-2 system with attacking wing-backs and a physical target-man up top and will look to dominate aerial duels and cause problems from set-pieces.
- MK Dons have a similarly dynamic style with Paul Warne favouring his teams to create havoc with quick transitions, wide play and passing combinations.
Key Players
- Michael Mellon’s seven goals in 16 appearances this season make him a constant threat.
- Callum Paterson has been an attacking force for MK Dons this term, finding the net 14 times in 30 appearances in League Two.
Betting Insights
- The Dons are the favorites here for a reason, they have a better record and a stronger away form, with 10 away wins and averaging 2.00 goals per away game.
- I am favouring MK Dons to eke it out here at odds of 2.27.
Prediction
Oldham are capable of punishing their opponents on the break when they do have the ball, so I’m supporting MK Dons & both teams to score in this one.
