Both teams need all three points here with the hosts needing all three to secure a play-off position while the visitors need to win to have a chance of automatic promotion. Plymouth are currently sixth and can finish as fourth but as low as seventh.
Plymouth are stuttering over the line failing to win any of their last four with three of these finishing all-square. MK Dons had also gone three without victory before a 2-0 defeat of Morecambe last weekend.
Steven Schumacher is the man in the Argyle dugout as he seeks to lead them to the Championship for the first time since 2009-10. Their main goal threat has been Ryan Hardie who has 16 goals for the campaign.
MK Dons are led by 36-year-old Liam Manning who has done an excellent job since taking over from Russell Martin. Scott Twine is their main goalscorer with 16 from midfield while forward Mo Eisa has 12.
Both these teams have been strong at the back this campaign with the second (Plymouth) and third best (MK Dons) defensive record. Each of the last seven and 15 of 16 Argyle games have gone under 2.5 goals.
Plymouth vs MK Dons: Match Stats
The hosts have kept a remarkable seven successive home clean sheets and at all ground 15 of their last 16 have gone under 2.5 goals. Just two of the last nine MK Dons away games have gone over so back this one to have under 2.5 goals.
Four of the last five for Plymouth have been level going into the break and both sides could be set for cautious opening 45 minutes. MK Dons will not find it easy breaking down a home defence that has not been beaten since February 26th so back a goalless opening 45 minutes.
