Bristol City v MK Dons : League Cup match betting preview, prediction and odds

Tue 12th Aug, 19:45 BST, Robins High Performance Centre, Somerset

Paul Warne is aiming for a vital away win in the League Cup on Tuesday evening, as he takes his MK Dons side to the Robins High Performance Centre to visit Bristol City and Gerhard Struber. All of the key statistics for the tie, including head to heads (H2Hs), predictions and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers across 17 markets are covered in this betting preview. It's all brought together specifically to help you make a well informed, intelligent bet.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Bristol C and MK Dons will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Gerhard Struber or Paul Warne has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to about a 79% probability.
