MK Dons take on the visitors Leicester in the 1/8-finals of EFL Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 20th at Stadium MK (Milton Keynes).
MK Dons have not completely got back on their feet from the unsuccessful outcome of last season. "Dons" could finally show something serious with their current name. They fought for access to the Championship. But in the end, in the regular draw, they limited themselves to only 3rd place, and in the playoffs, they failed to achieve final success. As often happens, having failed, the team was blown away. But in this case, the subsidence is already very significant. Instead of fighting for the rise, you have to seriously worry about a possible relegation. Little happens, and Will Grigg and company settle more and more densely in the relegation zone, at the very bottom. But at the same time, the underdog managed to get past 3 opponents in the League Cup. Including elimination of Watford, beating them 2-0.

Leicester bounce back from terrible start. The "Foxes" were the main disappointment in the first rounds of the Premier League. No, already in the last season of the Premier League, instead of the already familiar battle for the 4th place, the Champion League quartet (albeit twice a little lacking for final success), the ambitious club finished outside the European Cup zone. And now, having released Schmeichel and selling Fofana profitably, they started only with a draw at home, although they were leading 2-0, after which they lost to everyone in the Premier League in August and September. However, after a pause for the national team, it turned out to come to life. It showed up right away, with a 4-0 win against Nottingham Forest. And before a new, already longer break, it turned out to win 5 times in 6 matches - this is taking into account the cup 3-0 with Newport.
At the official level, the sides only played in League One in the 2008/2009 season. Then Leicester took the win with a draw. And then he repeated it in friendly matches in 2014 and 2017. Of course, Leicester are stronger, and the cup is a chance to save the season. We bet on visitors with a "-1 goal" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win with -1.0 handicap.
