Set-piece specialists Bromley can make life tough for the Dons
The Dons have drawn their last 3 matches and are winless in their last 5, so they are not in great shape at the moment. The result was 3-3 at Wycombe Wanderers, 1-1 at home to Peterborough United and 0-0 at AFC Wimbledon, so it's been a run of games full of grit but lacking a killer instinct. Paul Warne's men are in 22nd place in League One 2026/2027 with only 6 points from their first 7 games, so they will be battling at the bottom for a while yet.
Bromley are three places above MK Dons in the early standings with eight points on the board, but Andy Woodman's side have also been inconsistent lately. The Ravens are coming into this game on the back of a 2-1 home win over Huddersfield Town, which followed a 2-2 draw at Blackpool and 0-2 home loss to AFC Wimbledon.
Head-to-head history suggests a cagey duel
Recent meetings:
In the last 5 months, the Dons and Ravens met in League Two 2025/2026 with MK taking the win 2-1 at Stadium MK. Bromley have since been promoted and are averaging 1.67 goals per road game in League One 2026/2027, already scoring five on the road.
Tactics and key players:
- Woodman has Bromley set up in a compact, physical mid-block where set-pieces and winning the second ball will be key to their chances of getting something out of the game.
- Warne has his men organised in a pragmatic 3-5-2 system that should be well-suited to the game plan, as they like to play vertically, press hard and counter attack quickly when they win the ball back.
- Aaron Collins is their main man with five goals in seven games and three of the Dons' last five goals have been scored by him.
Look for a low-scoring draw
The visitors are led in goals by Victor Adeboyejo with four goals in seven, while two of Bromley's last four goals have been netted by the former Nottingham Forest winger.
Since the Dons have not lost at their home field yet, it's probably worth backing under 2.5 goals in this game. The hosts have averaged 0.67 goals scored and 0.67 goals conceded at this venue in League One 2026/2027 and both teams have been involved in some scrappy, transitional contests recently.
A draw with less than three goals looks the best option here, although the Ravens will fancy their chances of making it a close game with their quality on set-pieces.
