MK Dons vs Oxford United Predictions

• MK Dons kept just one clean sheet across their last eight home games.
• Both teams scored in five of Oxford’s last six away games.
• Oxford have kept just one clean sheet away from home this season.

Tight encounter expected between promotion hopefuls

The top end of the League One table is highly congested, with just six points separating the top-seven places ahead of this weekend. MK Dons and Oxford make up the last two of those sides and both have reason to believe they can come out on top in this potentially pivotal clash.

MK Dons have only scored 42% of their league goals at home, though that return of 1.6 per-game here at Stadium MK was enough to see them unbeaten in 80% of their home league games due to their respectable defensive record of 1.1 conceded goals per-game.

As for the visitors, Oxford are very much a ‘home’ team – they picked up just a third of their points away from home but they do seem to be finding their stride on their travels as they currently protect a five-game unbeaten run of away league games (W3, D2).

Given the solid record of both of these sides, I predict that both teams will score in this game. However, I am going to sit on the fence with a 1-1 draw between two in-form sides who look impossible to split on raw form.
