Season ticket holders at Rowley Lane haven’t seen too many victories this season, with AFC Wimbledon languishing in the 21st position so far. The guesting Sunderland will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- AFC Wimbledon is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Sunderland has the fewest conceded goals in the second half (5) in League One
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
AFC Wimbledon form and stats
With 2 League One wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, AFC Wimbledon are certainly not brimming with confidence. Wimbledon has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager G. Hodges and the players. Game days at Rowley Lane have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Wimbledon as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
It's back home for AFC Wimbledon, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Bristol Rovers away with the result 1-0. J. Rudoni found the net in that victory. Before that game, the home loss against Lincoln City with the scoreline 1-2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for AFC Wimbledon as they are travelling to their away game against Portsmouth in the League One. That match is three days after this one.
The Wimbledon fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 14 goals in 9 league matches. AFC Wimbledon have conceded 18 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Sunderland form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (4) away in League One, are W4-D5-L0 on the road this term. That's in the League One. The last three matches for Sunderland have all ended in a draw.
The supporters enjoyed Sunderland's previous game versus Port Vale, a EFL Trophy 2-0 win played at home. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Hull City.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Plymouth Argyle in just three days.
Sunderland are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 14 times in 9 away games so far. Sunderland's manager L. Johnson has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 4 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
