Recent respective form guides

Milton Keynes Dons FC will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While The Dons have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Scunthorpe U.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Milton Keynes find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 10 games have yielded only 6 points. Scunthorpe U.'s total of 17 points from their 10 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca Cola League One.
