Northampton vs Milton Keynes Dons Betting Tips

The Cobblers are two leagues below MK Dons but will really fancy their chances at Sixfields. They are in fine form in the league and have won 9 of their last 10 matches in all competitions, a run that was started by a shock 2-1 win at Coventry in the FA Cup 1st Round.

They are 2nd in League 2 and looking good for promotion and have only failed to win once at home since the end of September. With a place in the 4th Round certain to bring more prize money and potentially a big money spinning tie against Premier League opposition, Northampton are certain to go all out for the win here.

By contrast MK Dons are battling to avoid relegation from the Championship but are currently outside of the relegation zone after some improved recent performances. They’ve taken 7 points from their last 5 matches with wins coming at home against Cardiff City and Sheffield Wednesday but are likely to shuffle their pack here with another home game on Tuesday in the league.

Away from home they have been very poor this season and have only scored 5 goals in 12 away games since the opening day, picking up just 4 points from those games. The confidence and fluency with which they played in League 1 last season has slowly eroded away and the loss of Dele Alli was also obviously a big blow.

Northampton have every chance of causing an upset here and the value surely lies with them at Evens in the ‘Draw No Bet’ market.

The Cobblers are playing well and scoring goals so consider backing them to beat their Championship opponents 2-1 at 9/1.
