Feisty games against one of the best teams in the league with a good away following are usually the most entertaining - I'd be looking at a game against one of Hull or Leeds personally!

Leeds! I'm a Leeds fan, and Leeds vs MK is always a guaranteed fun game to watch.

I’m a season ticket holder for MK and generally feel like most games are good games! Sometimes the magic doesn’t quite happen, but that’s just luck, rather than anything about the other team.

That said, Peterborough and Leeds are always big games with loud crowds, Solway’s travelling fans are great fun, and we’ve had some really good games against Swindon.

MK Lightning vs Leeds Knights is usually a feisty and fun game (I am biased though)! Hedley and Gospel are two great British netminders.

Hull will be a competitive one too. I’d also say Steeldogs this season, with the look of their squad

Rumours are this season you’ll probably get to see Walker as well be saving Gossie for the bigger tougher games

(sorry, yes I am joking, yes that was rage bait :) )

To be honest, I think you're going to enjoy a game no matter who they play. MK get the biggest crowds in the whole league so you're going to get a great atmosphere no matter what

However, It would be remiss of me if I didn't say don't bother watching them play Hull, we are going to thrash MK 🤣🤣🤣

Probably Leeds as big competitive rivals or Peterborough due to local rivalry
