Even though both sides have 72 points, Wigan has three games in hand over MK Dons.
MK Dons are in the best form in League One right now. They haven’t lost in their last 10 games, and they have collected the maximum points in their last five games. No side has won more points this year than the Dons in League One. Last week, they beat Cheltenham Town at home. Troy Parrott scored twice, and Mo Eisa got one too.
Liam Manning hopes that his MK Dons side can continue their impressive run of goalscoring form after seeing them score at least two goals in their last five games. In the game against Colchester, MK Dons will be confident that they have the resources to test one of the best defences in League One and end their eleven-game winless streak.
Although Wigan is chasing promotion to the Championship. They will be disappointed to have been knocked out of the EFL Trophy in the semi-finals by Sutton United on Wednesday. James McClean leveled the tie for Wigan after Will Randall gave the home side an early lead, but neither team could find a winner, and penalties were needed to separate the sides.
