We said: MK Dons 2-1 Tranmere Rovers

 MK Dons were clinical on the front foot against Wrexham on the opening day, and we expect them to make it two wins from two at the start of their first campaign back in the fourth tier. Tranmere Rovers showed they have got real quality during their victory against Barnsley on Tuesday night, but we think they will come up just short away at one of the promotion favourites.
