AFC Wimbledon form and stats

7-5-10 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for AFC Wimbledon so far this season.

Wimbledon drew their last game, also a home match. Rochdale (placed 21st) was the opponent, 3-3 the score. Preceding that game was the away draw at Ipswich Town that finished 0-0.

There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Rochdale as Joe Pigott's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Joe Pigott felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Rochdale as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 84th minute.

AFC Wimbledon has scored 31 league goals at home this season, in 22 matches. Wimbledon have conceded 36 from these games.

Portsmouth form and stats

Playing away, Portsmouth have won 11 games, drawn 4 and suffered 7 defeats in the League One this season.

Portsmouth has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Accrington Stanley for a League One game that ended a draw (3-3). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Bristol Rovers.

The match against Accrington Stanley looked like a defeat for Portsmouth, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 3-3. John Marquis equalized in the 90th minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Portsmouth, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Craig MacGillivray had red hot gloves after the game against Accrington Stanley, shaping the outcome of the game with nine saves made.

Portsmouth has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 33 goals from 22 games. As opposed to that, Portsmouth have seen the ball go into their own net 26 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Portsmouth - Wimbledon 4-0. Wimbledon-Portsmouth H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: AFC Wimbledon two wins, Portsmouth seven wins, one draw. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
