Comparative Team Statistics: Milton Keynes Dons vs Doncaster

A fixture with plenty of history, little pattern

These two have met regularly going back over a decade, mostly in League One and League Two, with results swinging both ways. The most recent meeting was a pre-season friendly last July, which Doncaster won 3-1, but that tells us little about competitive form.

Before that, their last League Two clash in February 2025 also went Doncaster's way, 2-1, while the one before ended in a 1-1 draw. There's no obvious psychological edge either way from this set of results.

Level on points after seven games

Doncaster sit 21st with six points from seven games, built on one win, three draws and three defeats. MK Dons are one place below on the same six points, but their record is six draws and a single loss, with no wins at all yet.

Both have scored eight goals, but MK Dons have conceded two more, at ten against Doncaster's nine.

MK Dons' winless run despite so few losses suggests a side that keeps games close but can't find that extra goal.

Collins the main threat, Senior one to watch for cards

A. Collins has been MK Dons' most productive player this season, with five goals in seven matches, making him their clearest attacking focal point based on what we have.
