Prediction: 0-1
AFC Wimbledon
Priestfield Stadium will host Wednesday’s football game between Gillingham and AFC Wimbledon. Gillingham head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their fifth win of the season. The Gills aim to regain their spot in the top half of the table, but the match against AFC Wimbledon will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rochdale. AFC Wimbledon are undefeated in the previous five league fixtures, and we predict that they are going to beat the Gills behind closed doors. Talented midfielder Ethan Chislett, who scored a late winner against the Dale, is pushing for a start for the visitors. In their last meeting at Priestfield Stadium AFC Wimbledon defeated Gillingham 2-1.
