Accrington Stanley vs AFC Wimbledon Predictions

• Both teams scored in 5 of the last 7 meetings between these two clubs.
• Both teams scored in 5 of Accrington’s last 6 matches.
• Both teams scored in 5 of Wimbledon’s last 6 matches.
• 4 of the last 6 encounters between these two sides have ended in draws.

Accrington haven’t won any of their last three home games

Accrington suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Peterborough on Tuesday night while Wimbledon reduced the points gap between the two clubs after they played out a 2-2 draw at home against Burton. Recent encounters between these two clubs have been closely fought with the pair drawing four of their last six meetings and the other two results having a 1-goal margin.

Both teams have scored in the last four meetings between Accrington and Wimbledon and five of the hosts’ and five of the visitors’ last six matches in league and cup have also produced goals at both ends of the pitch. Accrington average 1.31 points per home game, which is below the league average of 1.66 points, and have only won 38% of the matches in their own backyard. The hosts score an average of 1.92 goals per home game and concede 1.46 goals while Wimbledon score an average of 1.23 goals per away game and concede 1.85 goals, so you can see why we have backed the pair to play out a 1-1 draw this weekend.

Wimbledon need to start picking up more points on the road

69% of Accrington’s home games in the league this season have seen both teams score as have 77% of Wimbledon’s away games, adding further weight to our prediction of both teams getting on the scoreboard in Saturday’s clash. The hosts have only kept clean sheets in 15% of their home games while Wimbledon’s are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road, but Accrington have only failed to score in 15% of their home matches and Wimble have only failed to hit the back of the net in 23% of their away games.

Exactly 2-goals have been produced in a majority 31% of Accrington’s home games so far this season, suggesting that there is a good chance we will see two goals scored this weekend which ties in perfectly with our prediction for a 1-1 draw. Wimbledon don’t have the best of away records this season, with just 7pts earned on the road, but the visitors do head into Saturday’s match as the form favourites and Accrington have dropped points in their last three home games.

We’re confident that both teams will score this Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Just 2pts separate these two clubs and we are expecting a close game between the pair this weekend as the hosts are out of form and the visitors have largely been poor on the road, so we can see the two clubs cancelling one another out.
