Barnsley to win the match

The MK Dons vs Barnsley prediction anticipates Barnsley to bounce back immediately after the midweek result. The team has been performing very well of late and a big loss against a team expected to get automatic promotion is not the end of the world.

Total goals over 2.5

Even though Cole has not been among the goals, Barnsley have witnessed over 2.5 goals in three out of the last five matches in the league. The MK Dons vs Barnsley betting tips expect the home team to be very nervous in the early exchanges. However, the need to survive is expected to help open up the home team and there will be opportunities at both ends.
