Prediction: 1-1
Plymouth
Plymouth will be aiming to build on a 1-0 win over Blackpool when they take on AFC Wimbledon at Loftus Road. Plymouth made a promising start to the season, but it has to be noted that they were more than fortunate not to concede in the opener. The Pilgrims are not regarded as good travellers, and, no doubt, they face an uphill task in Saturday’s football match. The Dons, on the other hand, were leading twice in their opener, but they eventually played out a 2-2 draw with Northampton.
AFC Wimbledon are eager to record their first win of the season, but seeing that the game will be played on a neutral location, we are tempted to put our money on draw. In their last meeting in the League One AFC Wimbledon defeated Plymouth 2-1, but share of spoils is on the cards this time out.
Highlighted Player (Scott Wagstaff):
Scott Wagstaff is a Charlton Athletic product who plays for AFC Wimbledon as a midfielder. Born in Maidstone, England on March 31, 1990 the 178-cm tall scored 17 goals in 120 appearances for the Charlton senior team, before spending several seasons on loan at the likes of Bournemouth Nortwich Victoria and Leyton Orient.

After netting 8 goals in 72 appearances in the league for the club, Scott Wagstaff moved to Gillingham in the 2016/2017 season, signing a two-year deal with the League One side. The 178-cm-tall midfielder was released by the club chiefs in the summer of 2018.
Scott Wagstaff, who has yet to make his debut with the England national team, current plays for AFC Wimbledon in the League One. His main position is right midfield, but he is used as both central and left midfielder as well.
Highlighted Team (Plymouth):
Nicknamed the Pilgrims, Plymouth are a professional football club that host their rivals at Home Park. The stadium, which can hold up to 18,600 people, was built in 1892 and opened the following year. Plymouth footballers wear dark green jerseys and white shorts when playing in front of home fans, while light green and white are the dominant colours of their away kit.
The Pilgrims made it to the FA Cup semi-finals in the 1983-84 season, with the team advancing to the Football League Cup semis on two occasions (1964-65, 1973-74). The Pilgrims recorded their biggest win against Millwall on January 16, 1932, with the team beating the Lions 8-1, and they repeated the success in 1994 as they rolled over Hartlepool United in the Second Division.
The club suffered their heaviest defeat against Stoke City (0-9) on December 17, 1960. Fellow Devon teams Exeter City and Torquay United are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals.
