This will be Justin Edinburgh’s first home match in charge at the Priestfield stadium since taking over after leaving Newport County. Edinburgh won his first game in charge away to Peterborough and his record at Newport was impeccable.
Gillingham’s last five home matches have seen 20 goals so they can usually be relied upon to serve up some goals, as did the reverse fixture at Stadium:MK where Karl Robinson’s Dons triumphed 4-2.
John Marquis has scored four goals in his last five games and that goalscoring record could cause MK Dons a few problems, despite the visitors’ obvious quality.
