After going so close last season, MK Dons are one of the favourites to win the title and go up in the latest League Two promotion odds. It won’t be easy for Mike Williamson’s team. The four sides relegated from League One will be looking to make an instant return, and there will be plenty of other established fourth tier teams looking to go up as well.
According to online football bookmakers , there is no clear favourite in the fight to win the League Two title and automatic promotion to the third tier of English football. If they’re right, the current season could be one of the most open and exciting in recent years. Below we look at the teams expected to be in the fight to win promotion in more detail: The MK Dons are 10/1 to top League Two and 2/1 to be promoted.
Last season the Dons finished in 4th place on 78 points. They were 8 points away from the automatic promotion places, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. The reason the Dons started the current season as one of the favourites is because of the impact Mike Williamson had on the team.
When the former Gateshead boss took over as manager in October 2023, the club were 16th in the division. Williamson then led the Dons to the brink of promotion, by claiming 62 points from his 33 matches in charge. Fans of the Dons can only wonder just what the club could have achieved had Williamson started the season as manager.
The summer months have seen the arrivals of Liam Kelly, Laurence Maguire and Connor Lemonheigh-E.
