Milton Keynes Dons's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Dons have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

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 The Dons will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Milton Keynes 9 games since last home draw.
Latest 2 games ended in defeat.
Not won in the 2 most recent games.
Stockport Co. 6 games since last defeat.
