EFL expert believes MK Dons are the team to watch in League Two title race

The Dons moved into the automatic promotion places following the 2-0 win over Salford at the weekend.

And Goodman, who was speaking during an interview with JeffBet, believes the promotion-chasing Dons still have the ability to push their title pursuit up a notch.

"I had MK Dons down as absolute favourites before a ball was kicked,” said Goodman. “It was a bit of a slow burner but they have picked up some form with the odd blip.

“I still think there are levels for them to go. But that victory over Salford will give them a big boost. They’re the title favourites for me.”

With just five points splitting leaders Swindon from tenth-placed Grimsby it is promising to be one of the most exciting title races for years.

“It really is all to play for at the top of the league,” added Goodman. "It’s turning into a real race. Look at how congested it is. Four points between Swindon in first and Salford in ninth - just four points.

"Notts County are the form team. Chesterfield, I always feel that Paul Cook is going to have his team towards that top end. Swindon and Ian Holloway, and Walsall, are doing great. So it’s going to be a real battle.

"I haven’t even mentioned Bromley - it’s their second season as an EFL club and they are in fine form as well, they’ve just won three in a row in the league. So"And Grimsby in tenth are five points off the top and we know they are capable, we saw what they did against Manchester United.

“That is looking like a super-exciting race, particularly if you’re a neutral.”

The Dons travel to Tranmere this weekend looking to make it five wins in the last seven.

They face a Rovers side who become draw specialists after having drawn seven of their 16 games this season, the second highest in the league.
