Milton Keynes Dons form and stats

When playing at home in the League One, Milton Keynes Dons have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games.

A nice win for Milton last time playing, versus Norwich City U21. That was also a home game and the match ended 6-0 with R. Poole (2), S. Walker, K. Agard (2) and L. Sørensen scoring for the victors. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Accrington Stanley (1-2).

As mentioned above, Milton "killed" Norwich City U21 in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Milton handle that role? We have found nine games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are four wins, two draws and three defeats.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Milton as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Peterborough United are visiting.

Milton Keynes Dons has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. 9 goals have been conceded.

Burton Albion's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Crewe Alexandra that finished 1-1. Before that, Burton travelled to Sunderland and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Burton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and five defeats. From a total of six matches.

The schedule is very tough for Burton now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Ipswich Town is waiting in only three days.

Burton have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 8 goals have been scored. As for defending, Burton rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 15 goals from these away matches.
