📊 Form Guide
Burnley
DWDWLW
Burnley, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 1-0 Premier League victory over Sheffield United.
In that match, Burnley had 36% possession and 5 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player to score for Burnley was Ben Mee (32'). At the other end, Sheffield United had 7 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Their more recent scorelines reveal that much respect should be given to the Burnley rearguard. The Clarets have been stingy, seeing the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous 6 outings standing at 3. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this game, though.
MK Dons
WDDLWW
MK Dons come into this meeting following on from a 1-4 League One win as they beat Swindon Town in their most recent game.
For MK Dons, the scorers were Cameron Jerome (4', 40'), Daniel Harvie (28') and Regan Poole (77'). Jack Payne (37') was the scorer for Swindon Town.
A succession of outstanding performances from the MK Dons defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their past 6 outings overall. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 14.
🤜🤛 Head to head
Delving into past results between these clubs going back to 27/09/2003 reveals that these encounters have not been kind to MK Dons. They’ve not been able to get themselves any victories at all whereas Burnley have simply been better than them, running out winners in 83 per cent of those ties.
A combined total of 20 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 15 from The Clarets and 5 netted by The Dons. That’s an average goals per game of 3.33.
The previous league fixture featuring the two was Championship match day 26 on 12/01/2016 when it ended MK Dons 0-5 Burnley.
On that day, MK Dons managed 51% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 5 on target.
Burnley had 13 shots on goal with 7 on target. Barton (14'), Sam Vokes (46'), Andre Gray (64'), Matthew Lowton (71') and George Boyd (82') scored.
The match was refereed by Stephen Martin.
🗞️ Team News: Burnley
Burnley manager Sean Dyche has a full complement, with no fitness concerns at all ahead of this game owing to a completely injury-free group available to choose from.
🗞️ Team News: MK Dons
Owing to an otherwise available squad, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the MK Dons manager Russell Martin to be concerned with. Ben Gladwin (Knee Injury) misses out for this game.
🔮 Prediction
In this game, Burnley can and should be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
In contrast, MK Dons will be up against it to find the back of the net but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be getting enough chances to score, too.
Our selection here is for a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Burnley after 90 minutes.
