On March 22, the "Whaddon Road" will host the 38th round match of the English League 2, where "Cheltenham" will face "MK Dons". I suggest placing a bet on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Cheltenham"
The team is a typical representative of this level of English football. On one hand, it has a long history, with a 140th anniversary coming up in 2027. On the other, its achievements are modest. To describe them, it's enough to say that 2024 marked the end of their peak: finishing 21st, the team was relegated from League 1, and they've never played in the Championship.
Expectations were for this club to fight to reclaim their positions. But everything became clear from the start: a couple of wins until October amidst many losses and an exit from the League Cup. By spring, it seemed the players were simply finishing out the season. There haven't been victories since a 3-0 win over "Newport" in February. They only beat "Wimbledon", but then drew 3-3 with "Swindon".
"MK Dons"
The club is formally considered a reincarnation of "Wimbledon", just relocated to a new place by the owners' decision. But fans didn't agree with this - and for the last two decades, there have been two projects. Both are currently playing at the same level, in League 2. This team had a chance to rise higher in 2024, but the regular season brought a fourth place finish, and they lost in the playoffs.
Currently, the club's results have declined. It modestly neighbors its current opponent and is at least content that it hasn't slipped into a real threat of relegation. There were even six losses with one draw, but in March they won against "Morecambe". However, they ended 0-3 with "Port Vale".
Match Facts

H2H
"MK Dons" lost one of the last six head-to-head matches and won in November.
Cheltenham vs MK Dons Prediction
Bookmakers have more faith in the hosts. The visitors are very weak - let's bet on the home side to win with a handicap of "0" (odds - 1.68).
