In-Depth Betting Tips and Predictions for MK Dons vs Bradford City

The EFL kicks off this weekend and there are some exciting fixtures taking place up and down the country. In League Two, MK Dons host Bradford City, with both sides eyeing promotion for this campaign.

The Dons missed out on a season in League One after losing 8-1 on aggregate in the play off semi-final to Crawley Town, the largest defeat in EFL play-off history. In a competitive league such as League Two, finishing fourth and entering the play-offs will go down as a good season, but the side from Milton Keynes mustn’t rest on their laurels as they could easily get relegated this season.

Bradford are often in the conversation for promotion to League One before the season starts, but for five seasons now, they have barely managed to challenge to top few teams in the league and had to settle for mid table mediocrity. The former FA Cup winners finished last season in 9th, just a point off the play-offs after ending the campaign with a seven game unbeaten run.

Both sides have been active in the summer transfer market, but MK Dons have had to find a replacement for their top scorer last season, 20 year old Max Dean, who moved to Gent for roughly £2m. As well as signing a new centre forward, the Dons have also secured the signature of former Spurs midfielder Tom Carroll, who could get his competitive debut against Bradford.

Bradford are the more organised of the two sides, with most of the players knowing each other and what the manager is asking them to do, but MK Dons do have home advantage so it could end up being a lot closer than expected. However, despite where the two teams finished last season, the most likely outcome here is a Bradford win.
