Live on Skysports 2: Tue 19.00: MK Dons are 11/8 (William Hill) to progress at the expense of Charlton in Round 2 of the JPT.
Charlton travel to stadium:mk as 2/1 outsiders (888sport) and they take with them a poor away record in a competition that surely must be of little importance to them as they concentrate on getting out of League 1. MK Dons, 11/8 with William Hill, don’t exactly stand out either, failing to win in 5, but crucially they haven’t lost at home all season.
Charlton edged the encounter when they met in the league just one week ago and perhaps the stand out bet is the draw in 90 minutes – 13/5 with Totesport. Charlton have failed to score just once in all competitions this season and MK Dons drawing a blank just twice. That would strongly suggest that both teams will find the net, an outcome Blue Square have as a 3/4 chance.
Elsewhere, slightly unpredictable Peterborough are perhaps a touch over-priced at 11/5 (Bet365) to win away at Huddersfield; The Terriers have suddenly entered a baron period, losing 3 games without scoring and Victor Chandler put the home team at 13/10. Posh would be good to follow on the ‘draw no bet’ market, available at 5/4 with Paddy Power, a great price to back.
