It will be a rarity for Salford City and MK Dons to come into their weekend matchup at the Peninsula Stadium on the back of rare defeats for both teams. With both very much in the battle for promotion or the playoffs, neither the Ammies or the Dons would want to slip to a second successive defeat at this critical juncture of the season. Let's check out some of the key data informing our prediction for the match.

A look at the league table makes good reading for both Karl Robinson's Salford and Paul Warne's MK. The home side currently sit in sixth position in the table, in the playoff spots, with 67 points from 39 games. MK Dons are even better positioned, second in the automatic promotion spots, They have 74 points from their 39 games.

Salford City's recent good run came to an end at the weekend when they went down to a 1-0 defeat away to Cambridge United. Prior to that they had won four in a row, including three home wins; 2-0 against Barnet, 1-0 against Walsall and 3-1 against Barrow as well as a 1-0 away win at Harrogate Town.

MK Dons suffered a first defeat in 15 league games last weekend with surprise 3-1 home defeat to Barnet. Prior to that, they too had won their last four games, which includes big wins at home to Harrogate Town (4-1) and away at Gillingham (5-1) followed by a 2-1 win at Swindon and a 1-0 win at home to Colchester United.

Our Salford City vs Milton Keynes Dons Prediction

Our prediction for the Salford City vs. MK Dons League Two match is: A Draw.

This is a good example of a game where the situation for both teams influences the likely outcome moreso than the data. Both teams are striving for promotion, or at least the playoffs, both lost last time out. As such, another defeat could be hugely damaging. We expect both teams to approach this game more cagily and as such, a draw may well be the result both managers would settle for here.
