AFC Wimbledon form and stats

The first League One game here at Plough Lane resulted in a draw. Last season AFC Wimbledon's home game statistics were 7 victories, 5 draws and 11 defeats from 23 games.

The home supporters saw a 3-3 draw versus Bolton Wanderers in the League One last time out and are looking for a win here. Midfield player Anthony Hartigan got a match rating of 8.0 in that game, the max score being 10. Hartigan served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 48 successful passes (of 60 total). Trouble was brewing at the score 1-3 against Bolton Wanderers last time out, but a goal from Adedapo Awokoya-Mebude completed a comeback to a draw result for AFC Wimbledon. A goal frenzy last time out for Wimbledon, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Bolton Wanderers. Fun stuff to watch!

Before that match, a Carabao Cup win away at Charlton Athletic.

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 ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn four and lost two.

Wimbledon are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Sunderland awaits in four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the AFC Wimbledon at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
