MK Dons vs Salford City Preview: Bleeders Clash in League Two
This Saturday, we’ve got an intriguing League Two melee between MK Dons and Salford City at stadium:mk. The home side have been prolific in front of goal recently, and with both teams in similar spots in the table there’s a good chance for fireworks. As ever at 100 Percent Sure Wins, we’ll dig into stats, form, and those betting angles. No fixed match nonsense — just proper analysis and tipster talk.
Use of Statistics & Team Form
MK Dons have found the net in nine matches in a row now, and in that run sits a comfortable 4‑0 thrashing of Bristol Rovers last month. On the flip side, Salford are perched a spot above them in the League Two table, separated only by a single point. Salford have chalked up eight wins and five defeats, while MK Dons have seven wins and four losses — so both sides have been doing more winning than losing.
At home, MK Dons have two straight League Two victories (including a 3‑1 win over Crewe Alexandra last month). But interestingly, Salford have won the last two direct clashes. Salford’s own recent six‑game record reads: two wins, one draw, and three defeats.
Defensively, both have wobbled. MK Dons haven’t kept a clean sheet in 11 of their last 12 league matches; Salford haven’t shut out an away opponent in their last five. Offensively, MK Dons lead the pack in League Two with 29 goals in 15 games, averaging 1.67 goals per game in their three home tests versus top‑six sides. Nine of those 15 games have seen them net two or more.
Ten of MK Dons’ 15 league fixtures this term have seen both teams find the net — and if that trend continues, this could be the fourth match in a row where they each score. Also: their last seven league outings have ended with three goals or more. With that in mind, we’re leaning toward a 2‑1 home win as our correct‑score pick.
Expert Tipsters
Our tipsters at 100 Percent Sure Wins reckon you’ll want to keep an eye on the both‐teams‐to‐score (BTTS) angle here. With the defensive frailties and attacking impetus on both sides, the “Yes” on BTTS looks strong. Another recommendation: go for MK Dons to win + both teams to score — offering a bit more value than just the straight home winner.
Head‑to‑Head
In direct matchups, Salford have had the upper hand: they’ve claimed victory in the last two encounters. MK Dons will be desperate to turn that around on home turf. Given Salford’s away defensive slip‑ups, the home side might just edge this one if they perform.

Team News
We’re expecting MK Dons to stick with their attacking impetus – the goals have been flowing and they’ll want to keep it going. On the flip side, Salford might tweak things defensively to try stem the flow of goals at the back. As always, keep an eye on late squad announcements — any changes could impact key betting angles.
Prediction
Taking all the above into account: I’m predicting a 2‑1 win to MK Dons, with both teams scoring and at least three goals in total. The home side’s firepower plus Salford’s leaky away defence make this a strong combo for goals and the home win.
Players to Watch
-
For MK Dons: The forward who’s missed few chances lately and is central to their 29‑goal tally.
-
For Salford: Their wing‑attacker who poses danger on the break and could exploit MK’s defensive gaps.
Keep an eye on both — they could swing the match.
