Oxford vs MK Dons – The U’s are four points out of the playoffs, while the visitors are third, with a goal difference that keeps them out. With three games left, the hosts need to get four points to advance into the playoff spots.
Oxford were fourth after 38 games, but a four-game losing streak, which included three straight defeats, saw Karl Robinson’s team slip down the table. On Friday, they won 3-2 at Highbury Stadium after holding off a late Fleetwood Town comeback.
Despite two goals from Fleetwood’s Ellis Harrison and Cian Hayes, Oxford held on to win the game. The U’s next two opponents are MK Dons and Rotherham United, and they may need to win both games to have a chance of making the playoffs against Doncaster Rovers. MK Dons are level on points with second-placed Rotherham, despite having played one more game.
Due to a 3-2 loss to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, Liam Manning’s side will have to lift their game for Tuesday’s match. Saido Berahino, Lewis Gregory, and Barry Bannan all scored for Sheffield Wednesday in the first half, until Troy Parrott pulled one back for the Dons in the 41st minute.
Oxford vs MK Dons – Betting Analysis
MK Dons cut the deficit to one in the sixth minute of stoppage time, but it was too late. Even if promotion is out of their hands, Tuesday’s visitors know that three wins in a row might see them sneak into the automatic promotion positions. Our prediction is that the Dons will win on Tuesday, as the visitors have gone unbeaten in their past ten away games, with eight of those victories going to MK Dons.
