This will be the first ever Football League meeting between MK Dons and Harrogate Town; it will be the Dons’ second consecutive league game against a side they have never faced before in the EFL, having also faced Sutton for the first time last weekend (1-1).

Harrogate have only won two of their last 11 matches when facing a new opponent in League Two for the very first time (D2 L7), with wins at Gillingham (August 2022) and Doncaster (March 2023).

MK Dons are the only League Two side to score in every league game this season (16 goals); though after winning four of their first five league matches this campaign (L1), the Dons are winless in their last four (D2 L2).

With their 3-2 win over Salford last time out, Harrogate could win successive league games for only the second time this calendar year, previously doing so in April (2 wins).
