When playing at home in the League One, Milton Keynes Dons have managed 6 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 12 games.

Keynes shared the glory with Accrington Stanley in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. The versatile forward Twine bettered all the other footballers in that fixture and got a match rating of 8.13 out of 10. Twine served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 55 successful passes (of 58 total).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Charlton Athletic (0-1).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Keynes's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won three matches, drawn one and lost two.

There will be little rest for Keynes after this match as they are travelling to Portsmouth for a League One game in only four days.

AFC Wimbledon form and stats

The visitors are W4-D2-L6 on the road this term. That's in the League One.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Wimbledon, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Boreham Wood. Heneghan was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.01. The defender Heneghan won 4 of 5 duels.

A 0-3 defeat away at Oxford United before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Wimbledon playing away, we found eight games. Results were one away win, two draws and five home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Wimbledon are hosting Morecambe in the League One only four days away.

Wimbledon find the net regularly in their away games. 15 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Wimbledon struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 20 goals conceded from these games. Wimbledon has visited these top teams five times, and 4 of 5 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head
