Milton Keynes Dons – Stevenage

Match analysis

Milton Keynes Dons host Steven ... and head into the fixture languishing at the foot of the table in 20th place with just five points from six games, having failed to win any match and conceding ten goals while scoring eight. Stevenage arrive in the south‑west as the league’s ninth‑placed side, sitting on nine points after two victories, three draws and a single loss, and they boast a modestly superior goal difference of +4 (11‑7). The Dons will be desperate to snap their run of five consecutive draws and finally claim a win in front of their own fans, while Stevenage will look to consolidate their mid‑table position and extend their unbeaten run against a side that has struggled to find the net. Both teams have met only sparingly in recent seasons, so this encounter offers a fresh chance for the Dons to close the gap and for Stevenage to prove that their form can translate into points away from home.
