MK Dons stand out with offensive efficiency at home, scoring an average of 1.84 goals with a 14% conversion rate, and a solid defense (42% clean sheets). Barnet struggles with efficiency away from home (32% of matches without scoring a goal, conversion rate only 8%) and concedes an average of 1 goal per away match.
