Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Notts County, AFC Wimbledon will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Gillingham in the League Two round 38. The Dons have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Gills. Lebanon international Omar Bugiel suffered an injury at the weekend, with Harry Pell likely to replace him in the starting line-up.
The visitors, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Salford City, losing to Barrow, while sharing the spoils with Tranmere Rovers. Gillingham aim to stay in the playoffs berth, but given AFC Wimbledon’s fine performance in the Meadow Lane triumph, we do not believe that Stephen Clemence’s troops are going to grab something from the match.
Highlighted Team (AFC Wimbledon):
Based in Kingston upon Thames, AFC Wimbledon are a professional football club that compete in the third tier of English football, commonly known as the League One. AFC Wimbledon were formed by former Wimbledon FC supporters in 2002 following the FA decision to allow the club to relocate to Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, only 90 kilometers north of Wimbledon.
The Dons welcome their rivals at Kingsmeadow, the stadium with the capacity of 4,850. AFC Wimbledon play their home games in blue shirts and blue shorts, whilst the colour of their away kit is yellow. The Dons won the Lanes Cup on two occasions (2007/2008, 2011/2012), Supporters Direct Cup three times (2002/2003, 2005/2006, 2009/2010), while lifting the Surrey Seniors Cup in the 2004/2005 season.
