The League One league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 6th and 20th respectively.

It's no vacation for neither Sunderland nor AFC Wimbledon as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sunderland form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Sunderland's two home games so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadium of Light.

Happy days for Sunderland in their previous game, a League One match away at Rochdale that ended with a 2-1 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Portsmouth in a game that was won 2-1.

There will be little rest for Sunderland after this match as they are travelling to Burnley for a Carabao Cup game in only four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Sunderland at home. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

AFC Wimbledon form and stats

It's not happening yet for AFC Wimbledon on their travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as AFC Wimbledon have lost on their last two travels.

AFC Wimbledon play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Ipswich Town. A draw for AFC Wimbledon before that, at their own venue hosting Accrington Stanley (1-1).

As for goals scored and conceded in away games so far, AFC Wimbledon has managed 2 goals and let in 4 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

Sunderland-AFC Wimbledon H2H statistics last two meetings regardless of arena: Sunderland 2 wins, AFC Wimbledon 0 wins, 0 draws. 1 of these two matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
