Prediction: 2-1
Fleetwood
Plough Lane will host Saturday’s football game between AFC Wimbledon and Fleetwood Town, the two teams who sit in the bottom half of the table. The Dons desperately needed a win against Crewe, and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-match losing run. Ollie Palmer, who scored a brace in the midweek triumph, will be the man to watch in the home team, while talented winger Ayoub Assal serves a one-game ban.
Fleetwood, on the other hand, aim to escape the relegation zone, and they are likely to fight to fight tooth and nail against the Dons. Anyhow, home win should be considered as AFC Wimbledon showed character in the come-from-behind triumph over Crewe. Joe Garner, who limped off with injury in a 3-1 loss to Oxford United, is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s football game.
