1st Prediction For Milton Keynes Dons vs Crewe Alexandra: Milton Keynes Dons to win 27/25

Scott Lindsey’s MK Dons side have endured a tough run over the festive period but Sunday represents a perfect opportunity for the Dons to turn their form around. MK Dons have lost their last three games, conceding a staggering nine goals in that time, but the underlying numbers are not as bad as the results suggest. In their game against Gillingham, which they lost one-nil, they created over four times as much xG as the visitors to Stadium MK, who only had two shots on target all game. Additionally, the six-three loss which they suffered at the hands of Newport County was a freak result with two Newport players scoring hattricks in the same game; Scott Lindsey’s team actually had more shots than their Welsh hosts. Crewe Alexandra, like MK Dons, have also been in indifferent form over December, both sides have picked up six points in their last five games, and home advantage should be enough to see MK Dons get the win on Sunday.

2nd Prediction For Milton Keynes Dons vs Crewe Alexandra: Milton Keynes Dons to win and both teams to score: yes 161/50

As previously mentioned, the Buckinghamshire side have some excellent underlying numbers, but most of these good underlying metrics are to do with attack. Therefore, people wanting to make a riskier prediction could predict Milton Keynes Dons to win and both teams to score. Scott Lindsey’s side have the second-highest goals per match in the fourth tier as they have scored 33 times in 20 games. They also take the most shots on target per match with 5.2 per game and they have created the fourth-most big chances of any team in the league despite having played two fewer games than many other teams. But, the home side have kept just three clean sheets in the league this season and the only team that has kept less clean sheets is 23rd-placed Morecambe Town. This poor defensive record will give the Crewe strikers hope that they can breach the Dons’ backline on Sunday.

3rd Prediction For Milton Keynes Dons vs Crewe Alexandra: Alex Gilbey to score at any time 9/4

Attacking midfielder Alex Gilbey has been key to the Dons’ success in recent weeks and predicting the former Charlton Athletic man to score goes well with predicting MK Dons to win. Since late October, the Dons have only won when Gilbey has scored and they have lost every game where he has failed to find the back of the net. The attacking midfielder has scored nine goals in 20 league appearances this season and he looks set to beat his career best tally of 13 league goals in a campaign as he is thriving under the attacking system which Scott Lindsey employs. He will also fancy his chances against a young, though reasonably experienced, Crewe defence

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

Crewe Alexandra come into the game sitting in fourth place in the table and just one point off the automatic promotion places after an indifferent run of form over the course of December. Lee Bell will have his sights set on a win against Milton Keynes Dons and a long-term push for automatic promotion back to League One. Milton Keynes Dons currently sit in 11th place after a run of three consecutive losses has seen them drop four points away from the playoff positions. Scott Lindsey will be hoping that recent results are just a minor blip for his side and that they can get into the playoff places which will allow Lindsey to replicate the magic which he produced with Crawley Town last season.
