Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Darrell Clarke and Paul Warne to park the bus here, but we're certainly not expecting a flood of goals as Bristol R and MK Dons go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.75 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we're recommending.
