Bristol Rovers v MK Dons

- but I'm more than happy with the value on offer in the 11/10 in the outright market.

Best bet:

Opta facts

  • Bristol Rovers are unbeaten in their last four league games against MK Dons (W2 D2), winning both home and away when the last met in the 2017-18 League One campaign.
  • MK Dons have failed to score in each of their last three league encounters with Bristol Rovers, including each of their last two trips to the Memorial Stadium.
  • Bristol Rovers have lost just one of their last eight league games (W5 D2), with the Gas currently on a five-game unbeaten streak (W3 D2).
  • MK Dons have lost each of their last four league matches, their longest run of defeats since April 2018 (six losses).
  • Bristol Rovers striker Jonson Clarke-Harris has found the net in six of his last eight league appearances, netting a total of seven goals.

Salford v Cambridge

Opta facts

  • Salford will become Cambridge’s 104th different opponent in the Football League – United have won two of their last three matches against sides they’ve come up against for the first time in the English Football League (L1).
  • Salford will be aiming to pick up back to back league victories for the first time in the EFL, following their 3-0 victory against Walsall last time out.
  • Cambridge have lost just one of their last seven league games on the road (W3 D3), a 1-0 defeat against Port Vale (P3 W2 D1 L0 since).
  • Only Cheltenham’s Gavin Reilly (19) has conceded more fouls without receiving a single booking in League Two this season than Cambridge’s Marc Richards (18).
