AFC Wimbledon form and stats

AFC Wimbledon's struggle is real here at Rowley Lane with only 8 points collected from 8 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-4. The Wimbledon manager G. Hodges might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Wimbledon lost their last game at Oxford United (placed 15th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Wimbledon lost 1-2 at home to Crewe Alexandra.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Wimbledon, as the League One home game vs Wigan Athletic is only four days away.
