Happy days for Walsall in their previous game, a fixture away at Bradford City (placed 14th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. Gordon, defender, was given a rating of 7.32/10 in that game, top of the team. Gordon scored one goal and won 7 of 12 duels.

Ahead of that match, Walsall lost 1-3 at home to AFC Wimbledon.

Milton Keynes Dons form and stats

As the visiting team in League Two matches, Milton Keynes Dons have produced an overall stat of 2-1-2 so far.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Harrogate Town with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Midfielder Tomlinson was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.05. Tomlinson hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes and had 48 successful passes (of 58 total).

Before that, Milton Keynes Dons travelled to Sutton United and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Observe! Both sides have scored goal(s) in 8 of this club's latest 10 league fixtures.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Keynes manager Alexander as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Gillingham.

Milton Keynes Dons have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 11 goals from 5 away matches. Keynes have conceded 11 goals in these games.
