Our prediction for this League 2 match:
AFC Wimbledon and Gillingham square off against each other at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in the closing match of the League Two round 23. The Dons have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Doncaster, losing to Chesterfield, while sharing the spoils with Swindon. As Lebanon striker Omar Bugiel limped off with injury in the Boxing Day clash, Joe Pigott is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Gills, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Colchester. Mark Bonner is expected to shuffle his pack, with both Ogie and Little pushing for recalls to the starting XI. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Gillingham have been struggling at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in recent years. In their last meeting at the venue the Dons defeated the Gills 2-0.
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.
