The Cherry Red Records Stadium will host AFC Wimbledon and Reading in League One round two, with both teams searching for a response after disappointing opening-day defeats. Wimbledon were beaten 3-0 by Huddersfield Town and have now won just two of their last 10 matches. Their home record is also concerning, with only 17% wins across their last six games at this venue. Johnnie Jackson has a full squad available, while experienced forward Jayden Stockley could be handed a starting role.
Reading, meanwhile, suffered a thrilling 4-3 defeat to Luton Town, despite Jack Marriott scoring a hat-trick. The Royals remain without a win in their last 10 matches, collecting just four points during that period, and their defensive problems remain a major concern. They have conceded 16 goals in those 10 games. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of Saturday's encounter.
BTTS landed in three of the last four meetings, while Reading's rate is 70% across their last 10 games. Therefore, Both Teams to Score seems to be the safest betting option, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
