Head to head, we arguably have no bigger bogey team than MK Dons.
There's three clubs we have a worse PPG ratio against, but we haven't played any of those sides more than 6 times. MKD we've met 16 times in the league and we have a 0.38 PPG record. Away it's 0.13, won 0 drawn 1 lost 7 with 2.63 average goals against, absolutely appalling.
Plenty will say past meetings count for nothing but such stats reflect general trends, trajectories, expectations, intensity of rivalries or complacency and above all - sizes and relative success of the clubs involved. I'd say this would be the toughest looking fixture we've faced in over 4 years.
Factoring in all that's current to the present season, we might just escape with a draw.
I was going to go with 3-3 but the heat (31c predicted for MK) will likely put a cap on any excess fizz spraying out all over the place.
MKD 1 Notts 1
