Milton Keynes Dons v Notts County

MK Dons vs Notts County Preview

The pick of this Saturday's fixtures in League Two is undoubtedly this top of the table clash between second placed MK Dons and the league leaders, Notts County, when the two teams face off against each other at stadium:mk with a precious three points at stake for both sides.

Four wins from their opening six games overall at the start of this season's campaign has thrust newly relegated MK Dons into early contention for promotion straight back to League One but there's obviously a long way to go.

Nevertheless, this upcoming encounter with Notts County feels like it could be a dress rehearsal for things to come later on this season, while MK Dons will be in confident mood for this tussle after recording wins against the likes of Wrexham, Tranmere Rovers, Colchester United and Doncaster Rovers.

MK Dons have also won their last three home games on the trot which includes a 4-1 romp against Chelsea U21's in the EFL Trophy last week but goals may be in short supply on Saturday as eight of MK Dons' last 10 home games in League Two have resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Notts County currently sit top of the League Two table after the early stages of this season's campaign as The Magpies have also won four of their opening six games but they picked up a draw instead of a second defeat like MK Dons.

Despite being handed a heavy 5-1 thrashing away from home at Sutton United on the opening day of this fourth tier season, Notts County have staged a promising comeback which consists of four wins and a draw in their subsequent five games which has helped them to the summit of the division.

Early season wins against Grimsby Town, Doncaster Rovers, Tranmere Rovers and Accrington Stanley should give Luke Williams' side plenty of confidence ahead of their trip to stadium:mk as will the sequence of results that Notts County have achieved on their travels as well.

The bigger picture shows Notts County have lost just twice in their last 27 outings on the road in all competitions but it should be noted that the majority of these games were played in the National League.

MK Dons v Notts County Verdict

Both MK Dons and Notts County will head into this Saturday's top of the table showdown in confident mood as both teams have captured four wins to date in this season's campaign, so this upcoming tussle could see very little separating the two sides.

However, previous history suggests MK Dons might just hold the edge here this Saturday, not just because they hold home advantage but also because The Dons have won each of the last seven meetings on the trot against their visitors.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 2.15

Other side bets worth considering:

MK Dons win @ 2.55

Correct score: MK Dons 2-0 @ 6.00
