Recent respective form guides
Colchester United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While U's have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Milton Keynes's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The The Dons's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.
Colchester U. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 5 points from their 5 games thus far. Milton Keynes's 9 points from 6 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
