- Burton Albion haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

AFC Wimbledon form and stats
With 3 League One wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, AFC Wimbledon are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The home team returns to Plough Lane after being equal after 90 minutes with Blackpool (placed 12th) on their last time out; the League One game ended 1-1. Before that, Wimbledon played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Shrewsbury Town.
Ollie Palmer was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Blackpool after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Wimbledon have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won four, drawn six and lost three.
The manager M. Robinson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bristol Rovers in only four days.
Wimbledon has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Wimbledon are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (26 from 13 played).
Burton Albion form and stats
4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Burton Albion playing as the away team in the League One this season. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Burton's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Lincoln City game. The fact that Burton have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Bristol Rovers.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Burton Albion in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Burton Albion, four draws and four defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Crewe Alexandra.
