AFC Wimbledon form and stats

AFC Wimbledon's results here at The Cherry Red Records Stadium in the League One have been very modest with 2 victories, 11 draws and 4 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Wimbledon who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 17 attempts. Their previous win was against Accrington Stanley, 94 days ago.

AFC Wimbledon are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 221 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by McCormick).

AFC Wimbledon faced defeat in their previous match, away at Plymouth Argyle (0-2). Midfielder Woodyard was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.01 (out of ten) in that game. Woodyard hit one key pass and had 45 successful passes (of 55 total).

Prior to that, an away loss at Wigan Athletic.

Wimbledon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 17 games. On the other hand, AFC Wimbledon have conceded 24 goals.

Lincoln City form and stats

Playing away, Lincoln City, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in League One, have won 5 games, drawn 4 and suffered 7 defeats in the League One this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Appleton, the Lincoln City manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Lincoln play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Ipswich Town (placed 9th). Jackson, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.65. Jackson won 5 of 6 duels.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Sheffield Wednesday.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Lincoln City manager Appleton as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Rotherham United.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Lincoln City have scored 21 goals in 16 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Lincoln struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 24 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these two teams meet this campaign, as the history books show this recent game: Lincoln City - AFC Wimbledon 0-1. Head-to-head totals (for the prior five meetings): AFC Wimbledon won two games, two matches ended with a draw and Lincoln City got one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / four
