Crawley vs MK Dons predictions
Fourth placed MK Dons face seventh placed Crawley Town, who just made it into the play-offs thanks to a win on their last game of the season.
It was a tight battle for the play-offs in League Two this year with fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth only separated by two points.
Now the four teams have a chance to make the most of their position by getting into the play-off final at Wembley.
Both sides did well in League Two, with not much separating much of the top nine outside of the top three, with Crawley tumbling down the table with four successive games without a win until the crucial game against Grimsby.
There's been plenty of time to prepare for this quickfire two legged semi-final, with more time added on due to their initial kick off being postponed late on on Monday.
📝 Crawley vs MK Dons betting tips
Crawley come into this with a tricky bit of form whereas MK Dons look the most reliable as the top side of all the play off teams in fourth, along with the best goal difference of them all bar far too.
Over 3.5 goals, MK Dons to win - 1/1
MK will be wanting to start the first leg strong, especially away from home. If they can set the tempo and head the game strongly it will make it a tense atmosphere that can only go in their favour.
Crawley have let in a similar amount of goals over the course of the season as their opponents, but haven't scored as many.
It is concerning looking at the away table from League Two, as MK are down in eighth but they've still won nine, they just concede a fair bit more than when they play at home.
That could make this game a high scoring affair as Crawley also don't do as well at home as they do away from home, making this a very interesting match-up going into this second leg later this week.
MK Dons have scored ten goals in their last three league games alone, but have also shipped 11...

Max Dean to score - 13/8
The Dons are narrowly favourites for this play-off bout and they also have two players who have a tonne of goals for them this season, with Dean and Gilbey netting 16 and 14 respectively.
Dean though, has done so in just 30 appearances with a far superior goals per 90 minutes and is set to add to his impressive tally for the season.
With a goal almost every other match he's difficult to rule out in scoring in such a crucial game.
He was one of five different goalscorers against Harrogate Town in their 5-3 win away from home but wasn't involved on the score sheet in the 4-4 thriller at home to Sutton, which saw the visitors come from 4-2 down.
But Dean's netted four in his last five appearances and is likely to get another start as the crucial man up top for the Dons.
