History of the Milton Keynes Dons v Hereford United fixture

Milton Keynes play host to Hereford United at The 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 The Dons.

The last time the two teams met at Milton Keynes was more than a decade ago, in October 1993, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Cup match.
