Stockport v Milton Keynes Dons

Stockport vs MK Dons Preview

Undoubtedly the pick of this weekend's fixture sin League Two features this upcoming top four clash between second placed Stockport County and their fourth placed visitors MK Dons when the two sides face off at Edgeley Park with both Stockport and MK Dons looking to further enhance their promotion credentials with a win here on Saturday evening and with just a point separating the two teams, this promises to be a mouthwatering encounter.

Stockport County were held to a 1-1 draw away from home at Crawley Town on Monday night which became The Hatters' fifth game unbeaten in the English fourth tier although it should be noted that four of these five unbeaten games have resulted in stalemates with Gillingham, Swindon Town, Salford City and the aforementioned Crawley Town, whilst also picking up a narrow 1-0 home win over Newport County.

Nevertheless, it has been a successful and solid campaign for Dave Challinor's side as they have proved themselves a tough team to beat this term, underlined by the fact that the hosts have slipped to just three defeats within their last 18 league matches overall.

Having also lost just three of their 19 home games to date along with picking up 11 wins in the process, Stockport County look well placed to add to their points tally this Saturday.

MK Dons have also enjoyed a successful campaign this season in League Two but although the visitors currently occupy fourth place and level on points with third placed Wrexham who sit in the last of the automatic promotion spots, only promotion back up to League One will confirm a successful season for Mike Williamson's side.

The visitors' best spell of results was produced earlier in the season from towards the end of October through to the end of December which saw The Dons put together a promising and encouraging nine-game unbeaten sequence as they put a previously disastrous nine-match winless run behind them.

However, although MK Dons have collected nine wins within their subsequent 16 games afterwards, the visitors have also slipped to six defeats as well, with no fewer than five of these six losses being inflicted upon Williamson's side on their travels.

Indeed, defeats on the road at the likes of Doncaster Rovers, Barrow, Bradford City, AFC Wimbledon and Grimsby Town suggest this upcoming trip to Edgeley Park to face fellow high-fliers, Stockport County, may be a bridge too far for The Dons especially as they have collected just five wins from their last 16 away games in League Two.
