Blackpool vs Milton Keynes Dons Prediction & Preview - League One
Blackpool have one point from their last six League One matches and Milton Keynes Dons have six, so the question at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday is simply whether Blackpool's defence can get through a night without conceding twice. They have not managed it often. Blackpool have conceded two or more in five of their last six and kept no clean sheets in that run, and Milton Keynes Dons have failed to score only once in theirs. Both sides arrive from Saturday, three days before this match: Blackpool lost 0-2 away to Leyton Orient, Milton Keynes Dons beat Luton Town 2-1 at home.

Blackpool have won none of their last six
One point from six games, and it has not been close to turning. Blackpool have won none of their last six in League One, drawing one and losing five, with six scored and 14 conceded. The two defeats before this one were away at Cambridge United, 0-1 on 10 October, and the 0-2 at Leyton Orient on Saturday - two games without a goal.
Bloomfield Road has not been a refuge either. Blackpool have won none of their two home games in this run: a 2-2 draw with Bromley on 12 September and a 2-4 defeat by Plymouth Argyle a week later. That Plymouth scoreline is the shape of most Blackpool games right now. Four of their last six have had three or more goals in them.
Milton Keynes Dons draw more than they lose
Six points from six, and three of them came from draws - 0-0 at AFC Wimbledon, 1-1 at home to Peterborough United, 3-3 at Wycombe Wanderers. Paul Warne's side are hard to beat and harder to predict: the 1-5 home defeat by Reading on 10 October sat a week before the win over Luton Town.
The travelling record is the caveat. Milton Keynes Dons have won none of their three away games in this run, and they have conceded two or more in three of their last six. Both sides have scored in five of their last six Dons matches, which is the single most reliable thing about them.
Team news
Blackpool are without Josh Earl, Niall Ennis, Fraser Horsfall and Michael Ihiekwe, while George Honeyman is available after his red card was overturned and Ian Evatt may hand loan striker Dion Charles a start; Milton Keynes Dons miss Kane Wilson and Ryan Barnett, Curtis Nelson is a doubt after a knock against Reading, and Warne is expected to keep faith with the side that beat Luton Town, with Aaron Collins leading the line, according to Sports Mole.
Blackpool vs Milton Keynes Dons prediction
Our prediction for Blackpool vs Milton Keynes Dons in League One is a 1-2 away win at Bloomfield Road. Blackpool have scored two or more only twice in their last six and have kept no clean sheets in that run, which is a bad combination against a side that scores in almost every game. Milton Keynes Dons have not won away in three attempts, so this is not a confident call, but they are the only one of the two with a win behind them.
Our prediction: Blackpool 1-2 Milton Keynes Dons
