1st Prediction For MK Dons vs Cheltenham Town: Over 3.5 goals 21/10

Both MK Dons and Cheltenham Town have been on fire in front of goal recently, which makes predicting over 3.5 goals viable. The two sides, who will meet on Saturday, have scored 18 goals between them in their last 10 fixtures in all competitions. Additionally, the Dons’ last five games have seen an average of 3.4 goals per game and they are the third top scorers in the fourth tier. The expansive brand of football that Scott Lindsey employs is certainly bearing fruit at the moment.

2nd Prediction For MK Dons vs Cheltenham Town: Ethon Archer to score at any time 33/5

22-year-old Ethon Archer has experienced a dramatic rise up the English football pyramid in the last 15 months. He began the 2023/24 season at Three Bridges FC in the depths of non-league football but he has worked his way up to the EFL, via Torquay United, and is now a key man for Michael Flynn’s side. The versatile attack-minded player has been in excellent goalscoring form recently, netting three times in his last three games and four times in his last seven games. The youngster has clearly settled in to full-time football quickly and Cheltenham’s most consistent attacking threat at the moment, which means betting on him would be a very rational decision which the bookmakers seem to have missed.

3rd Prediction For MK Dons vs Cheltenham Town: Cheltenham Town to win 7/2

One month ago, Michael Flynn’s side sat in 21st place in League Two with just three wins in 11 games. But, a four match unbeaten run in the league, and a seven game unbeaten run in all competitions, has seen them rise to 16th place in the table with a closer points gap to the playoffs than to the relegation zone. Although it took some time for Flynn to fully implement his playing style after his arrival in May, things finally seem to be on the up for the Robins. The aforementioned form of Ethon Archer, combined with the introduction of former Yeovil Town man Joe Day in goal and good form of the likes of Sam Stubbs and Luke Young has seen the away side build some real momentum which will be hard to stop.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

Scott Lindsey’s MK Dons are currently sitting in sixth place in League Two whilst Cheltenham occupy 16th place. The Dons’ league form is actually better than the Robins’ as they have won their last four games whilst Cheltenham have won twice and drawn twice. But, a loss to fierce rivals AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup and to Leyton Orient in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy means that the away side, who are unbeaten in seven games in all competitions, will travel to Stadium MK with a genuine belief that they can return home with all three points.
