Stadium MK plays host to an interesting League Two clash between MK Dons and Cheltenham Town this Saturday. Pre-season favourites for promotion, the Dons have started the season well under Paul Warne as they seek to climb back into League One, but it has been a poor start for Michael Flynn's Robins, who are one of five teams yet to pick up a point this season. Who will we back in our prediction for this match?
Sitting sixth in the table after two league games, MK Dons have started strongly despite a disappointing opening day goalless draw at home to newly-promoted Oldham Athletic. However, Paul Warne's team showed their class when travelling to Barrow for their second game, where they came away from Holker Street with a very impressive 2-0 road victory. However, they were beaten 2-0 away in midweek by a strong Bristol City team in the EFL Cup First Round.
Cheltenham's form this season in the league has been poor. They travelled to Cambridge on the opening day, losing narrowly 1-0. However, they then hosted Chesterfield at the EV Charger Points Stadium and lost 2-0 last weekend. However, they did record a win in the EFL Cup, earning a 2-0 win over League One Exeter City on Wednesday night. They currently sit 22nd in League One.

Our Milton Keynes Dons vs Cheltenham Town Prediction
Our prediction for the MK Dons vs. Cheltenham Town League Two match is: MK Dons wins the match.
The bookmakers made MK Dons one of the favourites for promotion from League Two this season and their form has backed that view after two games. Cheltenham Town's struggles in the league are concerning and they will hope their Cup form can boost them ahead of this game. However, the data suggests that the home side should have enough to claim a narrow victory in this game.
