Scott Lindsey takes charge of his third game as MK Dons manager on Saturday 5th October 2024 as his side host Tranmere Rovers in what is sure to be an intriguing matchup.
MK Dons look to continue their good run under new manager Scott Lindsey as they take on Tranmere Rovers. Tranmere are looking to turn around their recent run of form.
MK Dons Predicted Lineup - Tom McGill; Laurence Maguire, Luke Offord, Jack Robert Tucker; Joe Tomlinson, Liam Kelly, Connor Lemonheigh-Evans, Aaron Nemane; Alex Gilbey, Joe White; Tommy Leigh
MK Dons are currently sat in 14th place in the league after a difficult start to the campaign. However they are unbeaten under new manager Scott Lindsey, something they will look to continue here.
A battering 5-1 victory over Harrogate Town in the last match is something to be impressed with especially considering they nearly doubled their goals scored tally in one match.
The main issue that needs getting rid of for Lindsey is goals conceded considering they have let in eleven this year. Signs of improvement are there though coming into this game.
Tranmere Rovers Predicted Lineup - Luke McGee; Connor Wood, Jordan Turnbull, Tom Davies, Lee O'Connor; Christopher Merrie; Harvey Read Saunders, Regan Hendry, Connor Jennings, Omari Patrick; Kristian Dennis
Alternatively, Tranmere are currently 17th in the league on ten points. A dip in form in recent weeks especially has seen them fail to win in their last four games.
Their main issue comes in front of goal. Tranmere have only scored four times in the league this year. This is fewer than any other team in the division. If they can work some magic and start finding the back of the net they could see drastic improvement.
This game though will be no easy test for them.
MK Dons and Tranmere have played each other 21 times in their histories.
It is this weekend’s hosts that hold the advantage with twelve wins to their name. This to Tranmere’s seven wins. There have also been two draws in that time.
MK Dons have won the last two games against Tranmere. However before that Tranmere were on a run of five games unbeaten. This dating back as far as 2013. Can they get back on track and find that winning spirit against the Dons again?
