AFC Wimbledon Preview – Home win unlikely?

AFC Wimbledon have failed to take a win in any of their last four league games now (D2 L2).

They have posted only a W2 D6 L2 home record this season.

So the midweek win for Wimbledon doesn’t exactly jump off the page.

There’s a quote of 9/4 on the victory for Wimbledon on Tuesday* (odds recorded 20:19 GMT on January 17th, 2022 at Betfair).

On the weekend they were on home turf and played out a 0-0 draw with Morecambe.

Morecambe are one of the four teams beneath them in the current standings.

There has been a reasonable average of 1.5 goals scored per home game by AFC Wimbledon this season.

That’s the same rate at which they have conceded.

But the goals have dried up badly for them recently, as AFC Wimbledon have failed to score in their last three league fixtures (D1 L2).

Earlier this season they lost 2-1 away at Portsmouth in the league.

Our betting prediction:
Draw / Portsmouth HT/FT
19/4

Bet at Betfair

* (odds recorded 20:19 GMT on January 17th, 2022 at Betfair)

 

It may well be worth leaning towards a low-scoring fixture in this one because of the lack of goals by them recently.

Under 2.5 goals is at a quote of 10/11* (odds recorded 20:19 GMT on January 17th, 2022 at Betfair).

To their credit, the two defeats that AFC Wimbledon have taken on home turf were both against current top seven teams.

But Portsmouth are there in ninth.

Looking at the bigger form, home and away of AFC Wimbledon against the stronger teams, they are W1 D2 L7 against top-nine teams in this campaign.

AFC Wimbledon won their last home game against Portsmouth, but have lost two of the last four at Plough Lane.

 

Portsmouth Preview – A chance for Pompey?

Portsmouth had a blip on the weekend as they suffered a home loss against the MK Dons.

That snapped a long unbeaten run of ten league matches that Pompey had been one.

They are a quote of 6/5 in the match outright to bounce back to winning ways immediately* (odds recorded 20:19 GMT on January 17th, 2022 at Betfair).

They do look to have a reasonable chance of doing that.

Portsmouth are W3 D2 in their last five league away games.

Their defensive output, home and away has been very good recently.

Pompey have taken a clean sheet in five of their last six league games.

They’ve taken four in a row away from home this season.

So there is a reasonable chance that they are going to push towards three points.

Porstmouth head into midweek action six points outside of the top six, so can’t afford too many more slip-ups.

Given that they have been on point with their defence recently, the Portsmouth to win to nil betting option is to be considered at 3/1* (odds recorded 20:19 GMT on January 17th, 2022 at Betfair).

Pompey have averaged a goal per away game and have taken a clean sheet in 50% of road fixtures.

They were struggling away from home at the start of the season, but have improved drastically.

 

AFC Wimbledon vs Portsmouth Betting Advice

We are going to pull towards the away win for Portsmouth at a quote of 6/5 in this one* (odds recorded 20:19 GMT on January 17th, 2022 at Betfair).

That looks reasonable value as Pompey have been shaping up well on the road, going unbeaten in four.

It would likely only be a win by the narrowest of margins if they were to get there.
