SlipsTips casts his eye over the Bet Builder market ahead of MK Dons' English League One playoff semi-final second-leg showdown with Wycombe Wanderers on Sunday night.
MK Dons vs Wycombe (Sunday, 18:30)
MK Dons will have to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit at home to Wycombe Wanderers on Sunday night if they want to reach the English League One playoff final.
Liam Manning's men were beaten 2-0 at Adams Park on Thursday as their chances of securing promotion suffered a serious blow.
However, MK will draw momentum from the fact that they have beaten Wycombe three times already this season and that is perhaps reflected in the odds, with the hosts general 11/10 favourites here.
That being said, Gareth Ainsworth's guests are now unbeaten in 13 matches so I’m happy to steer clear of the 1×2 betting and instead divert into the Bet Builder market and merge over four MK Dons corners and over two match cards at 10/11 (Bet 365).
Whilst the Dons were standard-frequency corner performers during the regular season, averaging 4.67 flag kicks per-game, I'm prepared to look beyond that tally here given the dynamics of the tie.
As a consequence of the home team's position, they simply have no choice but to throw the proverbial kitchen sink at the Chairboys in search of victory and they should rack up a few corners in the process.
What's more, MK Dons covered the 5+ corner line in six of their final nine league games of the season and I see no reason to oppose a repeat here in-front of a sell-out home crowd.
Given what's at stake, and following what was a fiery first-leg between these two Buckinghamshire rivals, I'll round off the recommended Bet Builder with over two match bookings.
Both teams averaged in the region of 1.5 yellow cards per 90 minutes in League One this season and it's also worth pointing out that whistler Tom Bramall was dishing out a shade under four cards-per game whilst on duty in the third tier this term.
With all things considered, the aforementioned 10/11 (Bet 365) Bet Builder looks a nice way in given that we have all the necessary ingredients required for an action-packed contest at Stadium MK on Sunday night.
Recommended Bet
- Over 4 MK Dons Corners
- Over 2 Match Cards
- Bet Builder – 10/11 (Bet 365)
