LAST MEETING: MK Dons 1 Leyton Orient 2 (League One 13-04-09).
Kevin Nugent was in charge following Martin Ling’s sacking as boss. Geraint Williams was watching in the stands.
Stephen Purches scored the winner and keeper Jamie Jones announced himself with a last minute penalty save to seal three points for Orient.
HEAD TO HEAD: Leyton Orient one win, MK Dons one win, and no draws.
FORM: The Dons want promotion but are leaking goals right now with 15 conceded in five games.
The absence of defender David McCracken for collecting his fifth yellow card last weekend could help Orient on Saturday.
DANGER MAN: MK Dons want promotion and striking duo of Jermaine Easter and Sam Baldock could help deliver it.
Sam Baldock is a product of Dons’ academy and has seven goals in seven game. Easter is top scorer there with nine.
FUN FACT: MK Dons face playing in a morgue if they win status as World Cup 2018 venue but fail to succeed on the pitch. World Cup venues must hold 44,000 fans, but the Dons average a quarter of that at very best today.
PREDICTION: 2-1 Orient win
