MK Dons vs Chelsea Betting Tips

MK Dons are finding it difficult in their first season in the Championship, but so far they are managing to keep themselves afloat. They are in 20^th position in the second tier with two points between them and the relegation zone.

This is a battle that will take up much of their energy, but the players will undoubtedly be fired up by a clash with Premier League giants Chelsea.

MK Dons lost to the troubled Bolton Wanderers on Saturday, a result which ended their hope of securing three straight victories for the first time this season.

But a record of two wins, two defeats, and two draws in their last six matches in all competitions is actually very good for a team battling against relegation.

Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday saw Guud Hiddink’s unbeaten start to life at Chelsea continue, and the fact that his top players seem to be performing again will please the Russian immensely.

They have struggled to win while he has been in charge though. Their record stands at three wins and four draws since Hiddink took the pilot’s seat. Although away from home they have won two and drawn one of their three games since Mourinho’s interim successor arrived.

Chelsea’s chase for a top four finish is looking unlikely to be honest. They remain in the bottom half of the Premier League table with 28 points from 23 games, 14 points fewer than 4^th placed Spurs.

MK Dons have managed to win four of their last five home matches in all competitions, and they’re coming up against a Chelsea side who have struggled to finish off games recently. This gives MK Dons an outside chance in my opinion, and odds of 11/5 for an MK Dons Win or Draw Double Chance look really good value.

However, the better value looks to be with an MK Dons +1.5 Asian Handicap Win at 1.900, and a 1-1 draw is looking equally good value at 8/1 as well.
