MK Dons also hit a purple patch of form recently and they collected 10 points from their last 4 matches (W3 D1).

They don’t score their first goal at home until the 53rd minute and don’t concede until the 47th. Also, both teams score the majority of their goals in the second half. For Portsmouth, that figure is 70.5%, and for MK Dons 53.8%.

MK Dons vs Portsmouth Lineups and Team News
MK Dons
The Dons saw their 3-game winning streak come to an end away against Wycombe. They still earned a deserved draw though and continue to extend the gap between themselves and the relegation zone. Conceded just 1 goal in the last 4 rounds and this has been the key to them earning 10 points from those 4 games.
Latest news
It is very likely that the starting lineup will remain unchanged. None of the 3 long-term absentees is fit yet. Among them is the important centre-back O’Hora.
Portsmouth
Portsmouth did the required minimum to edge bottom-dwellers 1-0 at home and keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Pompey had been lacking consistency on the road all season though and they really need a small miracle to leapfrog 4 good teams in the next few weeks in order to make the top 6.
Latest news
Some changes to the lineup are possible. The attack could have a different look as Pigott is back after a three-game ban. The options remain somewhat limited with 5 players currently nursing injuries. However, from them, the only important squad member is the wing-back Swanson.
