MK Dons vs Scunthorpe Predictions and Betting Advice

Scunthorpe did pick up a home win against second-placed Bolton last time out, but the Irons are entirely reliant on what they can do on their own patch. They’ve lost their last four consecutive away league games.

MK Dons have been tough to beat as of late, with their home advantage bound to be a real problem for promotion-chasing Scunthorpe. This weekend should see the visitors slip up again.
