Milton Keynes Dons form and stats

When playing at home in the League One, Milton Keynes Dons have managed 9 wins, 7 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 21 games.

Milton enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Bristol Rovers's place. The match ended 1-0 with S. Fraser scoring. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Portsmouth in a game that was won 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Milton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won seven times, drawn two and lost one.

The Milton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 31 in 21 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 25 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Swindon Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Swindon Town's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 21 away games in the League One. Swindon Town, who have the most conceded goals (78) in League One, only have 4 wins to counter their 14 defeats and 3 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Swindon are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Swindon go into this game after a win, the home game against Portsmouth that ended 2-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against AFC Wimbledon wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

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

Swindon find the net regularly in their away games. 26 goals from 21 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Swindon have conceded 43 goals in these games.
