Insights:

AFC Wimbledon form and stats

With 4 League One wins, 4 draws and 10 defeats from their home games, AFC Wimbledon are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Wimbledon enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Accrington Stanley's place. The match ended 5-1 with Joe Pigott, Ollie Palmer (2) and Ayoub Assal (2) scoring. Preceding that match was the home game against Fleetwood Town that was lost 0-1.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Wimbledon played a great game against Accrington Stanley and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Wimbledon as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Swindon Town are visiting.

Wimbledon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 18 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Wimbledon defense is not exactly impregnable. 31 goals conceded from 18 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Ipswich Town form and stats

Playing away, Ipswich Town have won 6 games, drawn 5 and suffered 7 defeats in the League One this season. Two points from the last two away games for Ipswich, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Ipswich Town are looking to quickly end their 259 minutes long goal drought in the League One. 252 minutes! That's how long the Ipswich goalkeeper Tomas Holy and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Ipswich Town's last game was the home draw against Milton Keynes Dons (0-0). Before that, Ipswich travelled to Rochdale and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Charlton Athletic.

Ipswich have scored 19 goals on their travels this season, from 18 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Ipswich have conceded 21 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head
