AFC Wimbledon form and stats

2-9-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for AFC Wimbledon so far this season. All in all it has been a very rough period for AFC Wimbledon who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Accrington Stanley, 63 days ago.

In their previous game, the manager Robinson led his AFC Wimbledon to a defeat away at Charlton Athletic. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Cherry Red Records Stadium. Midfield player Hartigan got a match rating of 7.8 in that game, the max score being 10. Hartigan served one assist and hit four key passes.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cheltenham Town that ended 2-2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sunderland are coming to town in four days.

The AFC Wimbledon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 14 matches. 20 goals have been conceded.

Rotherham United form and stats

Playing away, Rotherham United have won 8 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the League One this season. The fact that Rotherham United have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

The Rotherham goalkeeper Josh Vickers is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 360 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Barlaser scored in Rotherham United's previous match, the home game against Accrington Stanley that ended 1-0. Vickers was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.64. The agile goalkeeper Vickers saved a penalty and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that one, a nice away victory 5-0 at Doncaster Rovers.

Rotherham United have scored 20 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. Rotherham United are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 5 goals away.
