- MK Dons are unbeaten in their last 3 games, with 2-2 and 1-1 draws at Oxford United and Huddersfield Town followed by a 0-0 draw with Leicester City.
- Wigan Athletic are winless in their last 5 matches, with defeats to Cambridge United and Leyton Orient in their only two League One 2026/2027 games to date.
- Milton Keynes Dons FC have been tougher to beat away from home in 2026/2027, with 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats, and 2 goals scored.
Latics’ luck to change at The Brick?
Wigan Athletic are 24th on the League One 2026/2027 table with 0 points from 2 matches, while Milton Keynes Dons FC are 15th on 3 points after 3 games, making the Dons the slight favourites at 73/50. Wigan are 9/5 with the draw priced at 9/4.
Paul Warne has got MK Dons playing fast and direct in a high-pressing 3-1-4-2 shape which seems to suit The Dons' personnel well and they will aim to take the game to Wigan from the get-go. Aaron Collins is their danger man and top scorer in League One 2026/2027, with 2 goals in 3 games and 2 in his last 5 appearances.
The Latics are in a rough patch, so the Dons are clearly the more likely of the two teams to grab the win, but 73/50 is a bit short for the visitors, who are on a 3-game unbeaten run, and 9/5 is about right for Wigan. Gary Caldwell's side have a solid 3-4-2-1 shape, with plenty of discipline and conditioning that allows them to compact out of possession.
Dons can be the playmakers
This is a classic battle of control vs chaos and MK Dons' fast pace could confuse the hosts all afternoon. They have looked a bit scrappy on the road, but are unbeaten in one away match in 2026/2027 and have scored two goals on the road, so they can grab the three points against a winless Wigan.
Under 2.5 goals at 4/5 looks a sharper bet than the win-draw-win market for this match, however, with both teams to score - No at 19/20 also favoured. Ben Wiles has added some polish to MK Dons' play in midfield, recording 1 assist in 3 appearances in 2026/2027, and Akeel Higgins has been a live spark for Wigan, registering 1 goal in 2 League One 2026/2027 appearances. Dara Costelloe has been a better provider with 1 assist in 2 for The Latics.
