Wimbledon Preview – Can the Dons stretch unbeaten run?

After 20 games played, Wimbledon languish down in 17th spot in League One. The London club have won six, drawn seven and lost seven, scoring 30 and conceding 32. The Dons are eight points clear of 22nd and 12 points away from the top six.

Wimbledon’s results have improved in recent weeks, and they head into this League One home match unbeaten in five in all competitions. Mark Robinson’s side have won three and drawn two, with two of those victories coming in League One. Last time out, they held high-flying Wycombe Wanderers to a 2-2 draw at Plough Lane.

(odds taken 1313 GMT, Friday 17 December)

 
The Dons have been tough to topple at home recently, winning three and drawing one of their last four league and cup games at Plough Lane. Can they pick up a positive result from this one?

Portsmouth Preview – Pompey’s fine form to continue this weekend?

Portsmouth have been in excellent form, recovering well from a pretty poor start. Danny Cowley is really beginning to find his feet at Fratton Park, and the 43-year-old deservedly won the November EFL League One Manager of the Month award.

Since losing three in a row in mid-October, Portsmouth have suffered just one defeat from their last 12 league and cup matches. They are unbeaten in nine in League One, winning six and drawing three.
