Our prediction for this League 2 match:
AFC Wimbledon
Match Time & Date:
26/12/2022
16:00
Prediction: 1-0
Newport County
Plough Lane will host a Boxing Day encounter between AFC Wimbledon and Newport County, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. AFC Wimbledon are only three points behind the playoffs berth, and their form in December is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of upcoming festive fixtures. With no fresh injuries to report, boss Johnnie Jackson is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Swindon.
The Exiles, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Doncaster, and given their ups and downs on the road, we predict that the in-form hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the Boxing Day showdown. All Wildig, Dolan, and Zanzala are pushing for a start after the trio came from the bench in the last league match.
