League Two
Our Three Predictions For Milton Keynes Dons vs Accrington Stanley
- Prediction 1 -Tyler Walton To Score – 16/5
- Prediction 2 – Under 2.5 Goals Scored – 5/4
- Prediction 3 – Milton Keynes Dons To Win – 13/10
First Prediction For Milton Keynes Dons vs Accrington Stanley – Tyler Walton To Score – 16/5
The forward has looked strong to start this season and could have a few chances in this match. The former Southport man got off to a good start to his season, with goals against Gillingham, Salford City and Grimsby Town, all three of which reside in the top five of the league so far. Walton has had plenty of efforts so far this campaign, with 12 shots, five of which were put on target. He also stands as the penalty taker for the ‘Owd Reds, which is a brilliant chance for him to get on the board in this match, having converted his only effort from the spot so far, in the defeat to Salford.
Second Prediction For Milton Keynes Dons vs Accrington Stanley – Under 2.5 Goals Scored – 5/4
This matchup sees a team who have been involved in plenty of goals against an Accrington side that have only scored four goals so far this season. Only Cheltenham Town have found the net less times than John Doolan’s side, and the stats point to real struggles for the Lancashire side in the final third. Stanley have the fewest touches in the opposition’s penalty area of any side in League Two, and sit in 23rd for xG created this season. The Dons have seen both a strong attack and weak defence in their performances this season, but have been stifled by teams towards the bottom like Crawley Town, despite a strong performance at Broadfield.
Third Prediction For Milton Keynes Dons vs Accrington Stanley – Milton Keynes Dons To Win – 13/10
Results have not been coming for either side as of late, with Accrington picking up their first win of the season last weekend against Colchester United. As mentioned, goals have been hard to come by for Stanley, with Tyler Walton having three of their four league goals, and face a Milton Keynes Dons side that have 13 goals to their name, a number only beaten by league leaders Swindon Town and Grimsby. With just two games so far where Paul Warne’s team have failed to score, the Dons have been very prolific in their other games, most notably in their demolition of Cheltenham Town. With players like Callum Paterson and Rushian Hepburn-Murphy at his disposal, the Dons should easily outscore their visitors in this game.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Milton Keynes Dons head into this game in a bit of a slump, and are winless in four in all competitions. Facing some of the best teams in League Two so far, Paul Warne’s side lost to both Walsall and Grimsby Town, before being held to a draw by Chesterfield. They enter the weekend in 10th place with 12 points, one point behind the playoff positions. However, they were handed a major defeat in midweek in EFL Trophy action, losing 5-1 to West Ham United’s academy, albeit with a fully rotated squad. There are a few injury woes for the former Derby County boss to deal with ahead of this game, with Jack Sanders, Kane Wilson and Scott Hogan sidelined, Wilson being expected to miss the remainder of 2025.
Accrington Stanley got a much-needed win in their last game, their first of the League Two season as they ground out a 1-0 win against Colchester United. Unlike their hosts, John Doolan’s side have not had to deal with midweek football, meaning there is some rest for the squad. Stanley sit in 20th place ahead of the weekend, one point above Shrewsbury Town in the first of the relegation spots. However, they have only played seven matches rather than eight, due to a rescheduled match against Tranmere Rovers which will be played in late October.
13 games have been played between these sides since 2019, with the most recent four being in League Two. The Dons have the slight edge when it comes to these matches, with five wins to Accrington’s four, with two draws contested. Last season’s contests were split with one win a piece, Stanley winning 2-0 at the Wham Stadium, while Milton Keynes won 2-1 in Buckinghamshire.
