Gillingham vs MK Dons Preview
Gillingham will probably feel as if the 1-0 defeat away to Bradford at the weekend was the end of their slim promotion hopes. The loss has left them 8 points off the final play off place currently held by Peterborough. They will still look to claim a place in the top half though.
The Gills did not get the result they wanted against Bradford at the weekend but manager Steve Lovell is likely to keep faith with the side that started that game. The 4-4-1-1 formation will offer a solid defence and threat going forward.
MK Dons are in big trouble towards the bottom of League One. The Dons are currently in 22nd place, and with 4 relegation spots it is not looking too good for them. That said, they are just one point from safety, so any kind of result here will be welcome.
Alex Gilbey and Joe Walsh remain out for The Dons while midfielder Marcus Tavernier remains a doubt. Aneke will be the main goal threat for MK Dons, and he will feel a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

Gillingham vs MK Dons Prediction
Gillingham’s main problem this season has been their inability to put a really solid run of form together. A win has usually been followed up with either a draw or a defeat, which is the main reason they have not collected enough points to challenge for the play offs.
MK Dons have just had a nightmare of a season, which sums up why they are sat in the relegation zone. Things have turned around a little bit recently though, with 2 wins and a draw in their last 3 matches.
Away matches have not been MK Don’s speciality though, as they have failed to win their last 12 away matches in League One. Add to this the fact that Gillingham are undefeated in their last 9 home matches and it looks like a tough task.
Our BTTS tips suggest that both sides will get on the scoresheet, but we believe it will be Gillingham who come away with the three points.
