Stevenage at home, Stevenage away: two different teams
Alex Revell's side have won 3 of 3 at home across their last six matches and 1 of 3 on the road, and the split is stark enough to shape this one. The most recent of those home wins was a 3-0 against Plymouth Argyle four days before this fixture. Before that, 1-0 against Wigan Athletic 14 days before, and 2-1 against Luton Town 44 days before.
Away, it has been thinner. A 0-2 at Bradford City seven days before this match and a 0-1 at Leyton Orient 35 days before are the two defeats in the run. The 5-1 at Barnsley 49 days before stands well apart from everything else.
Across those six, Stevenage have scored 11 and conceded 5, with two clean sheets and only one game in which they shipped two or more. They have also failed to score twice, so the attack is not relentless - it is the back line that has been doing the steady work.
Milton Keynes Dons have been leaking goals
Seven scored, 12 conceded in six. That is the number that frames Milton Keynes Dons right now, and three of those six games saw them concede two or more.
The run opened with three straight draws: 3-3 at Wycombe Wanderers 49 days before this match, 1-1 at home to Peterborough United 42 days before, and 0-0 away at AFC Wimbledon 37 days before. Then it turned sharply. A 1-5 at home to Reading 14 days out, a 2-1 home win over Luton Town seven days out, and a 0-2 at Blackpool four days out.
So there is a win in there, and it was a decent one. But the Dons have won 0 of 3 away in this run, and both sides have scored in 4 of their 6 - they rarely keep a game quiet.
Team news
Stevenage list Jasper Pattenden as unavailable (Stevenage FC News), and Wanya Marçal was forced off in the loss at Bradford City and was expected to miss the midweek game, with 19-year-old Ben Broggio among the candidates to come in (Sports Mole). For Milton Keynes Dons, Ryan Barnett is out (MK Dons News), Kane Wilson was also unavailable for the trip to Blackpool, and Curtis Nelson was a doubt after a knock picked up against Reading (Sports Mole).
Stevenage vs Milton Keynes Dons prediction
Stevenage should beat Milton Keynes Dons in this League One fixture at the Sporta Arena on Saturday 24 October 2026, and our call is a 2-0 home win. Stevenage have taken 12 points from their last six to the Dons' 6, and the home record - three wins from three - is the clearest thing in either run.
Milton Keynes Dons have conceded 12 in six and have not won any of their last three away. They have also failed to score in two of the six, and Stevenage have kept two clean sheets in the same stretch. Warne's team can be awkward, as Luton Town found out seven days before this match, but a quiet afternoon is not what their defending has looked like.
Our prediction: Stevenage 2-0 Milton Keynes Dons
