MK Dons vs Bristol Rovers – Tuesday night’s clash between MK Dons and Bristol Rovers at Stadium MK features both teams in desperate need of a victory. The hosts are two points clear of Tuesday’s opponents while Bristol Rovers are in the relegation spots.
MK Dons enter this match with a winless streak of one in five league games and three in 11 games overall. In their most recent game, they were defeated 2-1 against Shrewsbury Town. Goals from Tom Bayliss and Jordan Shipley resulted in Liam Manning’s team suffering their second straight league loss.
After Zak Jules had given the Dons hope with a goal in the second half, Dawson Devoy was dismissed, adding insult to injury. Canning and his team will be under pressure since they have only won one league game at home this year and are aware that another loss might send them further down the relegation ladder.
MK Dons vs Bristol Rovers – Betting Analysis
Since MK Dons’ most recent League One triumph came in a 2-1 victory over fellow underdog Oxford United in September, the Dons are now keeping an eye on Burton and Morecambe.
With four points from their last two games entering Tuesday’s encounter, Bristol Rovers are doing just a tiny bit better under Joey Barton.
The Pirates were key in lifting The Pirates out of the relegation zone with their 2-1 home victory over Cambridge United on Saturday. Before Josh Coburn scored the game-winning goal in the second half, Joe Ironside’s penalty had previously cancelled out an own goal by Greg Taylor.
Joey Barton’s team may now start looking up the table if they manage successive victories on Tuesday, which has relieved some of the weight off of them. Rovers have only won once on the road in all competitions this season, so their away performance isn’t terrific, but on Tuesday, Barton and his team have an opportunity to turn things around at the cost of MK Dons.
