Our prediction for this League 2 match:
AFC Wimbledon play host to Grimsby Town at their Cherry Red Records Stadium in the League Two round 15. The Dons aim to build on the FA Cup win over MK Dons and they must be high on confidence ahead of Saturday’s League Two game. James Ball limped off with injury in the FA Cup triumph, with Riley Harbottle being ready to step up.
The Mariners, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in all competitions and given their poor display in the FA Cup loss to lower-league side Wealdstone, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Both Barrington and Warren are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in the FA Cup loss, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the away team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous four encounters between the two sides.
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.
