AFC Wimbledon form and stats

AFC Wimbledon's results here at Plough Lane in the League One have been very modest with 5 victories, 4 draws and 10 defeats.

Before that match, a win away at Accrington Stanley.

The match schedule is unforgiving for AFC Wimbledon as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Oxford United are visiting.

Wimbledon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 19 games. AFC Wimbledon have conceded 31 from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Swindon Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Swindon Town's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 20 away games in the League One. Swindon Town, who have the most conceded goals (74) in League One, only have 4 wins to counter their 13 defeats and 3 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Swindon who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Bristol Rovers was the last time a defeat was avoided. Swindon seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Peterborough United.

It's a bit worrying for Swindon Town that their goalkeeper Lee Camp made eight saves in the Rochdale game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

After this away game Swindon Town return home for a League One game against Portsmouth. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Swindon have scored 25 goals in 20 league games away. Swindon have conceded 39 goals in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
