Stockport County – Milton Keynes Dons

Stockport County head into the fixture on the back of a solid start to the season, sitting eighth with nine points from three wins and three defeats and a comfortable 16‑10 goal difference. Milton Keynes Dons, meanwhile, occupy the bottom spot, having collected just five points from five draws and a solitary loss, their attack already matching the County’s tally at eight goals but conceding ten. The home side will be keen to extend their early momentum and climb into the top six, while the Dons will be desperate for a first win to lift them out of the relegation zone. Historically the two clubs have rarely met this term, making the encounter a fresh test of Stockport’s consistency against MK Dons’ resilience.
