Maybe the game of the week in League Two is this one, where Stockport County host MK Dons. We've got 2nd vs 4th, the teams are separated by just one point, and currently, Stockport are in the automatic promotion places, while MK Dons are outside and in the playoffs. This is a huge clash, both teams will be desperate to take something from it.
Stockport County Form GuideStockport remain in the automatic promotion spots, but they've slipped a little recently, and fell further behind the current league leaders Mansfield. They're in 2nd place with 68 points, that puts them four behind Mansfield, but it's behind them they need to look, MK Dons are one point off them, Crewe four points back, and both of those teams are currently outside of the automatic spots and in the playoffs, where Stockport definitely don't want to be.
Stockport are unbeaten in five, which is good, but they've only won one of those games, with four draws in the others, so while it's points on the board, it is also the reason they've not managed to keep closer to Mansfield, and further ahead of the playoff teams.
MK Dons Form GuideMK Dons are in a really good position. They are 11 points clear of the teams outside of the playoffs, so dropping out is highly unlikely, while they are only outside of the automatic promotion spots on goal difference right now. Tied on points with 3rd placed Wrexham, one point off opponents here Stockport, and five off the leaders Mansfield, it's all to play for.
And over the past four games, no one in the division has matched the nine points that MK Dons have put on the board. Three wins have come, the most recent being a 3-1 home success over Crewe, a playoff team, last weekend. Before that, the other two wins were 3-1 at home to Salford and 2-1 away at league leaders Mansfield.
Match PredictionI really fancy MK Dons to get something here, and think they are good value to do so. I am backing them on the double chance market, covering MK Dons to win the game or them to get a draw here.
