Bring on Bolton Wanderers - AFC Wimbledon! Despite the season performances so far, this game should be awesome!

Insights:
  • Bolton Wanderers have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • AFC Wimbledon have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Bolton Wanderers have less rest than AFC Wimbledon in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a League One game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Burton Albion.

Bolton Wanderers form and stats

All-inclusive League One statistics playing at home this season for Bolton Wanderers are 8-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). Wanderers has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at University of Bolton Stadium. We remember; it was Wycombe Wanderers.

Bolton Wanderers faced defeat in their previous match, away at Burton Albion (1-3). Midfielder Dempsey was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.24 (out of ten) in that game. Dempsey hit one key pass.

Before that match, a win away at Oxford United.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Bolton Wanderers's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn two and lost zero.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Wanderers, as the League One home game vs Lincoln City is only three days away.

The Bolton Wanderers fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 28 goals in 15 league matches. 18 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

AFC Wimbledon form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for AFC Wimbledon so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 4-3-8 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for AFC Wimbledon, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The Accrington Stanley game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Wimbledon's last game was the home draw against Sunderland (1-1). McCormick got a match rating of 7.7 in that game, top player of the team. McCormick scored one goal.

A 0-1 loss hosting Rotherham United before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and AFC Wimbledon playing away, we found eight games. Results were one away win, one draw and six home wins.

The schedule is very tough for AFC Wimbledon now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Gillingham is waiting in only three days.

The visiting AFC Wimbledon have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 15 games. Wimbledon have conceded 25 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two duelists also played each other earlier on this campaign: AFC Wimbledon - Bolton Wanderers 3-3. Head-to-head numbers (for the previous five meetings): Wanderers won one game, four matches ended with a tie and AFC Wimbledon got zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / two
