A look ahead to MK Dons' table-top clash with Bromley
Previewing MK Dons’ home game against League Two leaders Bromley at Stadium MK, kicking off at 12.30pm
MK Dons could put one foot in League One if they can pick up victory over table toppers Bromley in Saturday’s early kick-off.
The Ravens took full advantage of Dons’ draw on Easter Monday with victory over Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday, extending their lead atop the pile to seven points with 12 left on offer.
Paul Warne’s side have remained second despite picking up just two points from a possible 12 of late, but with others around them also dropping points, it has opened the door for Swindon and Salford to work their way back into the automatic promotion hunt.
Bromley have been a juggernaut on the march towards promotion, with Andy Woodman’s suffering one defeat since December. Though that loss came at the hands of bottom club Barrow a couple of weeks ago, they have returned to form with a win and a draw in their last two to maintain their lead on top.
Saturday’s game will be the fourth meeting between the sides, with Bromley coming out on top in two of the three previous encounters, including a 2-1 victory at Hayes Lane back in October. Their only trip to Stadium MK also saw them pick up all three points last season, with Dons slumping to a 1-0 defeat in February 2025.
Referee Will Finnie will take charge of the game, his 30th game of the season. While busy with his yellow card, flashing it 102 times, while dishing out the red just once, and pointing to the spot thrice.
He has taken charge of Dons four times, overseeing two wins and two draws. The last time he saw them was in October 2024 in the 3-1 win over Morecambe. Finnie has also reffed Bromley in four games, seeing them to two wins, a draw and a defeat.
Assistants Daniel D'Urso and Harley McKittrick will run the lines with Fourth Official Harry Wager.
Bookmakers bet365.com have MK Dons at 3/4 to win the game, with Bromley at 15/4 and 5/2 the draw.
