The hosts are in midst of a shambolic run of games in the league, as they are 21st in the league, sixteen games into the season and are just 3 points clear of the bottom of the table.
They have stepped it up in cup competitions having forced a replay against this opponent and beating another League One side Cambridge in the EFL trophy.
MK Dons on the other side despite occupying the 5th position in the table have not had the best of Octobers with 4 losses during the month including the exit from the EFL Trophy following defeat at the hands of Aston Villa U21.
Their misfortune continued in the FA Cup as they just about managed to force a replay against this opponent where they were clear favourites to proceed to the 2nd round with ease.
Despite being on a form that is frustrating for their fans, we do not see them getting knocked out of the tournament by a side who has just a win in their last 14 matches at the fourth division of English football



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

主队在联赛中遭遇了一场混乱的比赛，他们在联赛中排名第21位，本赛季已经打了16场比赛，只比积分榜垫底的球队差3分。
他们已经在杯赛中加强了自己的实力，迫使对手进行重赛，并在EFL杯中击败了另一支英甲球队剑桥队。
另一边的MK Dons虽然在积分榜上排名第五，但并没有在10月份取得最好的成绩，在这个月里有4场失利，包括在输给阿斯顿维拉的U21后从EFL杯中出局。
在足总杯上，他们的不幸继续上演，他们差点就逼着对手重赛，而他们本来是很有希望轻松进入第二轮的。
尽管他们的状态让他们的球迷感到沮丧，但我们并没有看到他们被一个在英格兰足球四级联赛中过去14场比赛中只赢过一场的球队淘汰出局
