- Milton Keynes Dons have the fewest points from losing position (0) in League One
It's no vacation for neither Milton Keynes Dons nor Derby County as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Milton Keynes Dons form and stats
With 1 League One win, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Milton Keynes Dons are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Keynes in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Accrington Stanley game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Jamie Cumming not having conceded a league goal in 230 minutes.
Milton Keynes Dons's previous match was a Carabao Cup game also played at their home, ending 2-0 versus Morecambe. The home side are looking to continue in that form. Defender O'Hora got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.83/10. O'Hora scored one goal and won 0 of 1 duels.
A victory at home ahead of that match, as predicted. The team were huge favourites against Taunton Town and won 6-0.
Milton Keynes Dons have scored {6 league goals} here from 8 matches, not a lot. Keynes have conceded 14 from these games.
Derby County form and stats
The visitors are W2-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the League One.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Liverpool in their previous outing. The Carabao Cup fixture ended 0-0. Wildsmith was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.3. The agile goalkeeper Wildsmith topped it up with a clean sheet.
Preceding that, 2-2 away against Torquay United in the FA Cup.
A new game in only three days for Derby County, the FA Cup home match versus Torquay United. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting County as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Derby County as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Head to head statistics (for the prior two meetings): Keynes won one game, zero matches ended in a draw and Derby County got one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / one.
