Struggling AFC Wimbledon will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Hull City in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • AFC Wimbledon has the most dropped points from leading position (23) in League One
  • Hull City has the most clean sheets (14) in League One

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

AFC Wimbledon form and stats

With 3 League One wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, AFC Wimbledon are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The AFC Wimbledon supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Gillingham in League One and win 1-0. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Peterborough United (0-3).

AFC Wimbledon are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Shrewsbury Town awaits in three days.

The Wimbledon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 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 have conceded 23 from these games.

Hull City form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, Hull City, who have the most clean sheets (14) in League One, have produced an overall stat of 8-3-5 so far.

The manager G. McCann was unhappy after their last game, a League One match played at their home ground KCOM Stadium. Hull suffered a 0-1 loss to Ipswich Town (placed 10th). A 3-3 draw at Doncaster Rovers's stadium before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Hull are hosting Rochdale in the League One only three days away.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Hull City are regular goalscorers on their travels. 19 goals have been conceded by Hull in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Hull City - AFC Wimbledon 1-0.
