Head to Head: Wanderers and MK Dons have met just four times, with the first meeting taking place in 2015.
In the Whites last game against MK Dons in 2017, they drew 1-1 as a goal from Jay Spearing saw Wanderers take the lead mere seconds before the end of the first half.
They had the lead until Kieran Agard popped up with a goal of his own for the Dons on the hour mark, securing a point for either side.
