2025-26 League Two: Week 14 – Bromley vs MK Dons

Bromley host MK Dons in a massive Sky Bet League Two encounter at Copperjax Stadium. 

If Fleetwood Town fail to win at lunchtime, victory could see Bromley climb as high as ninth depending on results elsewhere.

MK Dons can go top of the table with a win if Walsall and Swindon both fail to win elsewhere.

Stat Attack

• Bromley avoided defeat in their two previous League Two meetings against MK Dons (W1, D1).
• MK Dons drew 1-1 in their only previous League Two trip to Bromley in September 2024.
• No Bromley player has played more minutes this season in League Two than Mitch Pinnock who has played 1,163 minutes across 13 appearances.
• Alex Gilbey has scored three goals in MK Dons’ last two league games (W2).

 

Prediction

After their disastrous first-half defensive display at Cambridge where they lacked much if any grip on the Us’ fierce attacking intensity, Bromley were much sharper in the second half but often lacked a clinical final touch to snatch a draw so a huge reaction is needed.

MK Dons meanwhile have found their stride with four consecutive league wins but their defence has just one clean sheet in 12 across all competitions, which shows that they’re there defensively for the taking despite their strong attacking ability.

The first goal will be key because if MK Dons get ahead early, this might be a tough ask for Bromley so it is no wonder that Andy Woodman considers the Dons to be “out and out favourites” for this clash.

There is however one positive for the hosts in that they’re unbeaten at home – excluding penalty shootouts, which I can see continuing if Woodman names the side that finished at Cambridge as the starting line-up, because they should be good for a draw if he does opt for that selection.

Prediction: Bromley 2-2 MK Dons
