It's been quite a while since these two sides regularly faced each other in competitive competition, over 6 years to be exact, however now they're in the same league again they'll be frequent opposition much more often.

Last time the sides met in August it ended in a goalless draw so neither side will be coming into this tie with the bragging rights however it does give them both something to prove. Prior to this MK Dons had the upper hand more often than not when they were more frequent opponents. Perhaps this will bring them a mental edge in Saturday's match but bearing in mind this was over 6 years ago the bragging rights will have waned ever so slightly.

Recent Milton Keynes Dons and Oldham Form Analysis:

Last 5 Milton Keynes Dons Games:

1. Barnet 2-2 MK Dons
2. MK Dons 0-4 Swindon
3. MK Dons 2-0 Salford
4. Tranmere 2-2 MK Dons
5. MK Dons 2-1 Fleetwood

In their last 5 outings MK Dons have shown form that doesn't really indicate how they are 3rd placed in the League Two table. By no means is their form terrible but for a side in the title picture you would anticipate more than just 2 wins in their last 5.

The Dons have also suffered an embarrassing 4-0 home defeat at the hands of Swindon in this time which has highlighted some of their defensive issues. In 5 they have only kept 1 clean sheet and shipped 9 goals, something they will need to clean up if they are to remain in the title picture or go on a deep FA Cup run. Up front has looked more promising though with the side being able to bag 8 in 5.

Last 5 Oldham Games:

1. Harrogate 0-1 Oldham
2. Oldham 2-6 Bolton
3. Oldham 0-0 Crewe
4. Oldham 3-0 Newport
5. Accrington 1-0 Oldham

Funnily enough the visitors Oldham have shown eerily similar form to MK Dons. They too have only lost 1 but drawn 2 and won 2 in their last 5 outings, considering they sit midtable in 16th in League Two this will be form they are much happier about than their opponents.

It's not just win loss records that are eerily similar between the two sides but both have also suffered an embarrassing loss at home that saw them dumped out of the EFL Trophy. Oldham have been much tidier at the back being able to keep 3 clean sheets in their last 5 outings however they have still shipped a fair few goals in this time having conceded 7. In front of goal they haven't been quite as bright as their opposition on Saturday however they haven't given a bad showing by any means, they have bagged 6 in their last 5.

Callum Paterson (MK Dons):

The Scotsman has been flying up front so far this season for MK Dons and is a huge influence over their potential title push. As of writing he is the clubs second top goal scorer in the league with 5 whilst also leading in creativity with 4 assists to boot.
