MK Dons vs Middlesbrough: Match Preview
This is a rather crucial game for both sides; neither having won for a few weeks. Middlesbrough want to close the gap in the top 2 and leave Burnley behind whilst MK Dons want to start climbing away from the relegation zone.
This match, at Stadium MK will be tough for the Dons, who recently battled out a 0-0 draw with Cardiff, Meanwhile, Middlesbrough come into this match off the back of an eventful draw against Blackburn.
Aitor Karanka’s side will be looking upon David Nugent and Stuani to give them what should be a standard victory. However, MK Dons won’t make it easy for them with Norwich-loanee Josh Murphy and Carl Baker leading the goal threat.
Middlesbrough should be able to take advantage of the Dons weak defensive record, as long as they don’t slip up. Meanwhile, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas could make his first start in Karl Robinson’s team after signing on loan from QPR late on deadline day.
Score Prediction: MK Dons 0-2 Middlesbrough
In a game that is vital for both parties, I cannot see Middlesbrough losing and I’m not honestly sure where the goals are going to come for MK Dons.
