EFL League One Matchday 7: Game of the Week Preview
Wimbledon versus MK Dons is the standout choice for Game of the Week, with the two sides meeting at the Cherry Red Records Stadium on Thursday in one of English football’s most fiercely contested rivalries.
There is far more at stake than three points when these two clubs meet. The fixture is rooted in the controversial relocation of Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes more than two decades ago, with AFC Wimbledon subsequently formed by supporters who refused to accept the move. That history has ensured every meeting carries an intensity rarely matched elsewhere in the EFL.
Wimbledon head into the latest meeting in increasingly confident mood. After suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat away at Burton Albion on 2 September, the Dons responded with back-to-back 2-0 and 1-0 victories over Bromley and Doncaster Rovers.
MK Dons, meanwhile, are still searching for their first league victory of the campaign. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Peterborough United on Saturday, despite taking the lead through Aaron Collins, with Chris Conn-Clarke’s late equaliser extending their winless start to six matches.
The Dons have now drawn five of their six league games, including 3-3 against Wycombe Wanderers, 0-0 with Leicester City and 2-2 at Oxford United. Their only defeat came away at Wigan Athletic, leaving them with five points and still looking for the result that could kick-start their season.
