4-8-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for AFC Wimbledon in their League One matches away. It's three draws from Wimbledon's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

The supporters enjoyed Wimbledon's previous game versus Northampton Town (placed 20th), a League One 1-0 win played at home. Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Charlton Athletic.

We have checked recent matches where Wimbledon have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were zero victories, four draws and six defeats.
