      MK Dons vs Newport Prediction, Tips & Stats

      Stadium MK is the venue for an exciting League Two clash on Saturday afternoon as Mk Dons are set to host Newport County with the game set to kick off at 15:00.

      The hosts currently find themselves in 5th place in the league table having picked up 55 points from their 33 league games so far this season. The Dons are still in the race for automatic promotion as they are just four points behind Wrexham in 3rd place.

      Mike Williamson’s side come into this weekend’s game on the back of an inconsistent run of form which has seen his side record 2 defeats, 2 victories and one draw in their last five league outings.

      Last time out, MK Dons managed to earn a point against promotion rivals Wrexham, in a fiery game in which both sides finished with ten men. James McClean gave Wrexham a deserved lead but Dan Kemp equalised as the Dons responded well to going behind.

      Newport County are sitting in 15th place in the league Two table after amassing 46 points from their 32 league games this season. In what is a very congested table, Newport are still in the hunt for a place in the playoff as they are just 2 points behind Harrogate in 7th place.

      The Exiles are in a rich vein of form coming into thai weekend and have won five of their last six league outings. This run has included victories over the likes of Wrexham, Doncaster and Swindon.

      Last time out, Newport recorded a slender victory over gillingham thanks to a 60th minute winner from Will Evans. Newport’s defence has been particularly impressive in recent weeks as they have conceded just two goals in their last four games.

      The fixture of MK Dons vs Newport is a relatively new one, wirth the two sides having first met in 2016 in the League Cup, a game which the Dons ran out 3-2 winners. In total these two sides have met on 6 occasions, with MK Dons having the better record, winning four and there being one draw.

      Newport and MK Dons battled to a 0-0 draw when these two sides met earlier on in the campaign at Rodney Parade, where both sides missed a host of chances. County striker Omar Bogle wasted several opportunities, but the closest either side came to opening the scoring in the first half was when Dons striker Max Dean forced Nick Townsend into a superb save after half an hour.

      It is the hosts who come into this game as hot favourites at the bookies and are currently priced @ 4/6, whilst an away win for newport is priced @ 7/2 and a draw is @ 29/10.

      We are backing MK Dons to win and under 2.5 goals because this is often a fixture that results in low scoring affairs. In the three previous league meetings between these sides, there has not been more than 2 goals on any occasion.

      MK Dons Team News

      MK Dons have not reported any new injury concerns ahead of this weekend, however dean Lewington will be sidelined as he serves a suspension following a red card against Wrexham last time out.
