Bet up to £25 risk free on Peterborough
This is a rare occasion on which there are no Premier League or Championship games on Monday night but when the alternative is a clash between the two form clubs in League One, there are unlikely to be too many complaints.
MK Dons face Peterborough in a tie that pairs two teams that have won five and drawn one of their last six fixtures to cement positions in the play-offs and put themselves in contention for the second automatic promotion place, with table-toppers Brighton appearing to have the first one locked.
The hosts have only lost three times at stadium:mk all season and have overcome Brighton, Southampton and Bournemouth yet have to be considered the most vulnerable to defeat this evening having surprisingly won just two of their last six in front of their fans.
Peterborough have a point to prove having lost 3-1, 4-1 and 5-1 away to the three clubs mentioned above, however two of those came before the momentum-shifting return of Darren Ferguson and the other came in his first game back before he'd had a chance to stamp his style on the side.
Posh head to Buckinghamshire on a run of four successive travelling triumphs having previously gone close to two years without successive victories on the road and their aggregate score on those trips has been 12-1, so they have to be fancied despite their position as [2.86] outsiders.
Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £25 on this match and have your stake refunded if your punt proves unsuccessful.
Craig Mackail-Smith has been in great goalscoring form to ensure that January departure Aaron McLean hasn't been missed and after netting ten in his last 11 appearances, has to be backed to fire again at [2.62] and also appeals at [5.9] to grab the opener.
