Milton Keynes Dons (Home)
- Milton Keynes Dons FC have won 9 of their 17 home games in League Two this season, drawing five and losing just three.
- Paul Warne’s appointment as Milton Keynes Dons FC head coach in April 2025 has been a masterstroke and the Dons have continued to impress under his leadership, sitting 3rd in League Two with 62 points from 34 games, and a very realistic shot at promotion.
- MK Dons have won both of their previous two head-to-head clashes with Harrogate Town, beating them 4-0 away from home in League Two just two months ago, and are unbeaten in their last five League Two games (W3, D2).
- Callum Paterson leads the line for MK Dons, scoring 14 goals in 30 League Two appearances this term.
- MK Dons have picked up 1 win and 1 draw in their last two home games (W1, D1) and the team are scoring freely at home, netting an average of 1.76 goals per-game in front of their own fans in League Two this campaign.
Harrogate Town (Away)
- Simon Weaver has led Harrogate Town with distinction since taking over as manager in 2009, but Harrogate have struggled away from home in League Two this year, winning just three away from home.
- Simon Weaver will set Harrogate up in their usual 4-4-2 and will look to press high up the pitch, creating chances through wide overloads, but also through long balls to Jack Muldoon, who is Harrogate’s top scorer this season with five goals in 26 games.
- Harrogate Town are unbeaten in their last two games, drawing with Bromley and Cheltenham Town.
- The Sulphur Town outfit are also unbeaten in their last two away games (W1, D1), and I think Harrogate can trouble MK Dons on Saturday, who could do with a goal boost in their quest for promotion.
