Recent respective form guides

Torquay United are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. While Gulls have scored 9, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Milton Keynes have an average recent record on the road, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. Just 6 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 3 have been let in at the wrong end.

Torquay Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 39 points from their 41 games thus far. Milton Keynes are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 45 points from 41 matches.
