Bitesize Prediction: MK Dons vs Notts County – 09/09/23

Competition: League Two

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 3/5 @ Pribet

Two sides who find themselves leading the chase at the top of the League Two table, MK Dons will welcome Notts County to Buckinghamshire on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while MK Dons might have lost their third-tier status last season after dealing with a string of issues behind the scenes, Graham Alexander’s side have come roaring back this time around. However, while the mood around Buckinghamshire at a recent high, the one-time Salford boss will be calling on his squad to claim an immediate response here. Last seen putting in a downbeat display as they eventually slumped to a 3-1 drumming away at Crewe, that result brought an end to their three-match winning run across all competitions. Opening their EFL Trophy adventure with a 4-1 victory against Chelsea’s U21s on August 29th, the Dons have certainly gained a reputation for their lively outcomes at both ends of the pitch. Mustering just a single clean sheet since opening up the 2023/24 campaign, neutrals could be treated to another thriller this weekend. In fact, it is worth noting, Alexander’s side have seen each of their last five appearances finish with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

As for the visitors, while Notts County might have only made their League Two return this season, the Magpies are enjoying what has been a real fairytale. Last seen putting in another stellar display as they landed a 3-1 romp at home against Accrington Stanley, Luke Williams’ side know that three points here would be enough to skyrocket them to the top of the fourth-tier standings. With the mood around Meadow Lane at a red-hot high, Saturday’s guests have won each of their last three appearances by an aggregate score of 8-3. Really finding a clinical edge in the final third and already collecting 12 points from their opening six League Two showdowns, Notts County will be desperate to make another statement here. However, mustering just a single clean sheet from any of their last eight outings, chances could come thick and fast this weekend. It should be noted, with Saturday’s opponents seeing each of their previous four meetings finish with both teams finding the net, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
