Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but good reason to think MK Dons and Grimsby will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Scott Parker or David Artell has served up too many 0-0s of late either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.29 equating to approximately a 74% probability.
