Another home draw for your coupon — betting

Our tame professional odds compiler Owen Goulding says there's value in backing a draw between QPR and MK Dons, while Exeter are priced to long in League Two.

Having just woken up from a Rangers watching induced coma on Tuesday, the joys of the Championship means very little rest time before its time to go again - this time against MK Dons.

The 12 men of QPR managed to secure a draw against Sheffield Wednesday thanks to an inspired performance from Mr Haines in the centre. He's not available this week so Rangers will have to rely on other sources and it's hard to predict what team Ramsey will put out.

The whole 'give youth a chance' seems to have gone out the window if rumours of Suk Young's fitness are true and I'm not entirely sure of his plan of action. MK Dons bring a struggling side to West London on Saturday and they will be looking to improve on their similar stat to Rangers of one win in the last five games. Both teams have only managed to score more than once in those games so a low scoring affair could be on the cards. Looking at the match prices, the draw stands out at 13/5 and that's where my money will be going.

Recommended Bet: QPR v MK Dons - Full time result- Draw @ 13/5 (Bet365/Betvictor)


Elsewhere the bet of the weekend comes in League Two where Exeter will look to build on their recent improved form at home to a struggling Notts County. County will be missing a number of senior players with Exeter welcoming a number back into their fold. It will be a close game but the Exeter price seems too big based on team news at a current 17/10.

Bet of Weekend: Exeter City to beat Notts County @ 17/10 (B365/WHill)
