"Starting with the hosts, while MK Dons might open Saturday's fixtures sat just one-point adrift of finding a route into the automatic promotion spots, Paul Warne's men are seeking some recent stability. Last seen settling for a 2-2 stalemate away at Tranmere last weekend, the former Derby boss has seen his squad win just a pair of their previous six appearances across all competitions."
"As for the visitors, although Fleetwood might have slumped to a 2-1 loss away at Crawley earlier in the month, it appears that was just a minor boost for Pete Wild's men. Last seen putting in a dominant display as they cruised their way to a 3-1 victory at home against Shrewsbury, the Fishermen have found a route into the top-half of the League Two standings."
"Including a 3-1 win against Crewe on October 18th, Warne's camp have won all of their previous three consecutive League Two showdowns at the Stadium MK by an aggregate score of 8-3. However, it should be noted, Saturday's hosts have recorded just a sole clean sheet from any of their last eight consecutive showdowns in front of their own supporters."
MK Dons sit one point outside the automatic promotion places but have struggled for consistency, winning only two of their last six matches and drawing 2-2 at Tranmere. The side suffered a 4-0 EFL Trophy defeat to Swindon and have shown defensive vulnerabilities, with only one clean sheet in their last eight home games despite a recent trio of home wins by an 8-3 aggregate. Fleetwood lost 2-1 at Crawley earlier in the month but responded with a 3-1 win over Shrewsbury and have suffered just one defeat in nine matches, while advancing in the EFL Trophy after a 3-3 draw with Port Vale.
