MK Dons

DLWWWD

MK Dons enter this game coming off the back of a 1-1 League One drawn result against Fleetwood Town.

The only player to score from MK Dons was Charlie Brown (83'). Gerard Garner (61') was the scorer for Fleetwood Town.

A common theme in more recent MK Dons games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

Taking their prior 6 matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have been a loser.

Looking at their past form shows that MK Dons:

• have not been beaten in the league by Rochdale in their last 2 matches.
• are undefeated in their last 2 league matches at home.

Rochdale

WWWDDL

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Doncaster Rovers in League One competition, Rochdale will be aiming to make amends here.

The only scorer from Rochdale was Matt Done (83'). Taylor Richards (30', 56') was the scorer for Doncaster Rovers.

Rochdale have had no problems opening up opposition defences leading up to this encounter, scoring 11 goals in their last 6 matches. While their manager Brian Barry-Murphy will no doubt take that as a positive sign, The Dale have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same outings. We will just have to find out if that trend can be sustained in this game.

Their previous form shows that Rochdale:

• have not emerged victorious against MK Dons in games played away from home for the previous 6 league matches. Not good.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 away league matches.
• have not won away from home in their last 4 league games.
