Betting Insights
- MK Dons’ odds for an away victory on Saturday are a little short at 1.88, but we feel they are rightly favourites for this matchup given the momentum they have built up in the league.
- The odds for over 2.5 goals are not much better, at 1.86, but both teams to score is a touch shorter at 1.73, so we’re siding with an open game in which both sides hit the net.
Prediction
We feel that MK Dons’ attacking firepower and momentum will be too much for Fleetwood Town on Saturday, however, and we are taking the visitors to take all three points .
