Milton Keynes play host to Bournemouth at National Hockey Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Dons.
The last time the two teams met at Milton Keynes was amazingly over twenty years ago, in September 1983, as the Dons squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Third Division match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Milton Keynes at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Dons will at least gain a draw. Score draw
