Our prediction for this League 1 match:
AFC Wimbledon
Match Time & Date:
14/09/2019
10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-0
Shrewsbury
The Cherry Red Records Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between AFC Wimbledon and Shrewsbury Town, the two teams who sit in the bottom half of the League One standings ahead of Matchday 8. The Dons just can’t find their form at the start of the season and it has to be noted that they are still eyeing their first win of the process.
Shrewsbury Town, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Ipswich Town at Portman Road, but you should bear in mind that attacker Shaun Whalley was sent off in the first half of the match. The Shrews have been struggling in front of goal of late, failing to find the net in four of their last five league games and seeing that Whalley is out of contention through suspension, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts, who are desperate to get back on course.
