Swindon 1-1 Milton Keynes Dons - League Two 2018/2019 Statistical Preview

James Dunne and Toumani Diagouraga serve the second of three-match bans here, so Phil Brown could revert to the midfield trio of Michael Doughty, Martin Smith and Steven Alzate.
Forward Kaiyne Woolery is two weeks away from a return to training,while Chris Robertson is also injured. There is good news, however, as fellow centre-back Dion Conroy recovered from minor fitness issue to make last week's bench.
Lawrence Vigouroux has been called up by Chile, so the experienced Luke McCormick or the youthful Will Henry compete for the No.1 spot.

Midfielder Conor McGrandles and wide forward Peter Pawlett are likely to be ruled out here.
Brandon Thomas-Asante remains sidelined but fellow forwards Sam Nombe and Osman Sow came off the bench in the midweek EFL Cup defeat at Bournemouth and should make the match-day squad here.

Prediction

After a chaotic last three seasons, Milton Keynes Dons appear to have turned a corner under Paul Tisdale. Last week's 1-0 win over Exeter showed there is now a savviness, a maturity and a sense of organization about the way they play.
By contrast, Swindon have a productive midfield but they are not necessarily a team that can yet be trusted defensively. The Robins have conceded 11 goals in their first five league games and need to show more assurance when put under pressure.
The visitors have won all three of the games that have seen them score first - conceding just the once - and their game management qualities could come to the fore in Wiltshire.
