The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Portsmouth.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Oxford United are coming to town in four days.

Milton Keynes Dons form and stats

6-1-9 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Milton Keynes Dons in their League One matches away. Recent form does not give Milton Keynes Dons much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Lincoln City will be a tough nut to crack.

This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Ipswich Town with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Keynes goalkeeper Cumming could take pride in a superb day against Ipswich Town, but even with making six saves the defeat could not be evaded.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sheffield Wednesday wasn't a success with a 2-5 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Milton Keynes Dons playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 5 Milton Keynes Dons wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

Keynes have another game away from home in just four days, a League One game versus Port Vale. A hard timetable for them!

The visiting Milton Keynes Dons have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 19 goals from 16 games. Keynes's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 27 goals from these trips.
