Milton Keynes Dons v Cheltenham

MK Dons vs Cheltenham Preview

MK Dons secured a fourth league win on the trot in the English fourth tier last Saturday with a 3-1 home win over strugglers Swindon Town which has lifted the hosts up into sixth place in the table, while Cheltenham Town extended their unbeaten run in the league to four games with a 1-1 draw at home with Bromley last weekend.

Following a shaky and inconsistent start to this League Two campaign which produced just two wins from their opening eight games overall whilst slipping to four defeats in the process, MK Dons have seemingly now clicked into gear as the hosts have not only lost just one further game in their subsequent nine games, but they have also racked up four wins on the trot as well.

Important victories against Morecambe, Accrington Stanley, Grimsby Town and Swindon Town respectively have helped elevate The Dons up into one of the early play-off places in the division, while form on home soil at Stadium MK has also been reasonably steady.

MK Dons have registered four wins and two draws so far this term which have outweighed the two losses, while the bigger picture shows MK Dons have lost just four of their previous 19 home games at their Stadium MK, picking up 11 wins in the process.

Cheltenham Town have produced a more modest campaign so far in League Two as The Robins currently occupy 16th place in the fourth tier table but nevertheless, Michael Flynn's side will bring a solid looking four-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming encounter at Stadium MK.

Points picked up in stalemates with Bradford City and Bromley have been boosted by recent victories gained over Colchester United and Carlisle United, both of which were achieved on their travels, so Cheltenham Town are unlikely to be over-awed by the prospect of a trip to MK Dons this Saturday.

However, the wider picture shows Cheltenham Town have managed to collect just four wins out of their last 14 league matches in the English fourth tier whilst also being handed seven defeats within this period as well.

Although Cheltenham Town have won each of their last two away games on the trot, these may be exceptions rather than the rule as The Robins have managed to muster only three away wins from their previous 12 outings on the road, slipping to seven defeats as well, and they face a tough afternoon at the office against an in-form MK Dons outfit on Saturday.
