The other match being played in League One on Tuesday night features AFC Wimbledon playing host to Fleetwood Town as the betting tips continue at the Cherry Red Records Fans’ Stadium with the hosts keen to put an end to a dismal run of results.
AFC Wimbledon Prediction
AFC Wimbledon’s run of matches without a win in League One was extended to four games on the weekend when they were handed a heavy 4-1 defeat by play-off candidates Barnsley at home, but they get another chance to redeem themselves at their Cherry Red Records Fans’ Stadium this Tuesday night when they take on mid-table Fleetwood Town.
The hosts had previously also lost 2-1 away at League One leaders Portsmouth but recent draws with Blackpool and Coventry City will have given the basement dwellers some hope of escaping the drop.
However, AFC Wimbledon still remain bottom of the division and seven points adrift of Oxford United and safety, but all three points on Tuesday night would see The Wombles move a step closer to possible League One survival.
On a more positive note, AFC Wimbledon have lost just once in their last five matches at home as new manager Wally Downes is starting to have an effect on his squad, and although they lost to Barnsley, they’ve previously gained wins over Southend United and Plymouth Argyle amidst a home record of 3-3-8 14/23.
Forwards Pigott (5 goals) and Appiah (4 goals) look to be the hosts most likely source of goals here.
Key-Facts – AFC Wimbledon v Fleetwood Town
- AFC Wimbledon have lost just 1 of their last 5 home matches
- Fleetwood Town are without a win from their last 4 matches
- Fleetwood Town have gone 8 away matches without a win
Fleetwood Town Prediction
Fleetwood Town sit mid-table in League One following a 1-1 draw away at Rochdale on the weekend and they hit the road again on Tuesday night to face London club AFC Wimbledon in a match that isn’t quite as straightforward as it would have been a few weeks ago.
Fleetwood Town have won 9 league matches this season but 6 of them have been recorded at Highbury Stadium while only three of them have been recorded away form home so far this term. It’s therefore their form at home which has helped Fleetwood to a comfortable 12th place in League One to date.
The visitors are without a win from their last four matches overall which includes a heavy 5-2 defeat at home to Portsmouth along with three stalemates against Shrewsbury Town, Oxford United and aforementioned Rochdale.
Fleetwood’s away record stands at an unconvincing 3-4-7 15/14 which includes a very poor recent run of results on the road as they’re now eight matches without success on their travels – a sequence that includes six defeats.
Betting Tips Verdict
Wally Downes has certainly had a positive effect on his AFC Wimbledon side and they can grab at least a point against a poor travelling Fleetwood outfit tonight.
