Milton Keynes Dons host Reading in League One, with the hosts still without a win in the league across their last 7 matches (6 draws, 1 defeat), while Reading have already collected 12 points from 8 matches and sit 7th. The hosts' most recent outing was a 0-0 draw in the league, and Reading also just drew 1-1. So the two teams come into this one on similar unbeaten form, but with very different feelings about it. Milton Keynes Dons are the team that has drawn 6 of their last 7 league matches, scoring 8 and conceding 10. They are a side that cannot close games out and keep letting opponents come back at them. Reading are different in that they still have not found a league win in their last two matches, but overall they look the better side: 8 matches, 17 scored, 10 conceded, and unbeaten in 3 straight. This game will likely start with the hosts trying to set the tempo, because Milton Keynes Dons' first halves at home have produced 5 goals in 6 matches, and they tend to take the lead before the break. But the second half is when Reading score most, accounting for 31% of all their goals. If the hosts lead and still cannot close the game out as they have been doing, the game has every chance of swinging back into the visitors' hands late on.
