Will Collins fit in?

Coach Warne’s sharp eye for talent saw something in Collins. We believe the 28-year-old striker will be the first option in the attack, as he is by far one of the most expensive MK Dons players. With him among the starters for the home side, our top MK Dons vs Oldham prediction will surely succeed.
