AFC Wimbledon
Saturday’s football match at Pirelli Stadium pits together Burton and AFC Wimbledon, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the League One table. Burton are stuck at the bottom ahead of Matchday 8, with the team collecting only four points from possible 21. The Brewers are desperate to put an end to their dreadful winless run, but beating AFC Wimbledon is easier said than done.
The Dons aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Shrewsbury Town and Hull City, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Burton. Given the Brewers’ current form, the visitors will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the League One. You should bear in mind, though, that AFC Wimbledon are eyeing their first win over Burton since 2014 when the two clubs met in the League Two.
