Struggling Milton Keynes Dons will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Oxford United in the upcoming league round. It's 21st vs 7th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Milton Keynes Dons form and stats
With 3 League One wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Milton Keynes Dons are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts. The Milton Keynes Dons manager R. Martin might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The home team returns to Stadium MK after sharing the points with Doncaster Rovers (placed 13th) on their last time out; the League One game ended 1-1. Previous to that game, a EFL Trophy home match hosting Coventry City in a game that was won 2-0.
