MK Dons v Port Vale : League Two match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 12th Oct, 15:00 BST, Stadium mk, Milton Keynes

Mike Williamson's MK Dons side are on home soil in the League Two on Saturday afternoon, as Darren Moore's Port Vale travel to the Stadium mk. Below you'll find unique stats for the biggest betting markets, from both teams to score to double chance, including form and historical head to head (H2H) data. Predictions are produced from these, and the odds come straight from the UK's biggest bookmakers.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest we don't have an obvious winner here, but good reason to think MK Dons and Port Vale will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Mike Williamson or Darren Moore has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.25 equating to roughly a 76% probability.
