Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Buoyed by a thrilling 5-1 win over Fleetwood, Accrington will look to extend their winning run to three games when they take on AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday evening. The Accy Stanley are eyeing their sixth home win of the process, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. John Coleman is unlikely to make changes to the starting XI that crushed Fleetwood at the weekend as he has no fresh injury worries ahead of the midweek game.
The Dons, on the other hand, are still without Will Nighingale, who has yet to overcome his injury. AFC Wimbledon did well to beat Cheltenham 4-3 in the FA Cup at the weekend, but beating Accrington at Crown Ground is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
