Prediction: 1-2
AFC Wimbledon
Accrington Town and AFC Wimbledon take on each other at the Wham Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Accy Stanley aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to MK Dons and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Dons. Defender Jay Rich-Baghuelou limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with Aaron Pickles likely to step up.
AFC Wimbledon, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Barrow. The Dons have a chance to climb to the playoffs places and given Accrington’s poor performance against Mike Williamson’s troops, away triumph should definitely be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Lancashire. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Accrington defeated AFC Wimbledon 4-2, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the away side.

Founded back in 1891 and reformed in 1968, Accrington Stanley are an English football club that compete in the League One. The original team competed in the Football League from 1921 to 1962, spending the last four seasons in Lancashire Combination.
