MK Dons face Wigan Athletic at Stadium MK, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire on Tuesday, Feb 9 at 8:45 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the League 1, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

In 10 previous meetings, MK Dons lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in MK Dons won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives MK Dons a slight edge, but Wigan Athletic are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
