AFC Wimbledon vs Doncaster Predictions

• 75% of Doncaster’s points have been earned at home.
• Doncaster have scored 36% of their goals after the 75th minute.

A resurgent host

AFC Wimbledon have been struggling towards the bottom of the league this season and their place in the League One is far from secure. Their home form overall has been less than impressive and they have managed just 13 points in their 9 outings on their own soil.

However, things have changed of late and they are now undefeated in their last four home matches in the league, winning three and drawing one. This improvement of late is also reflected in the form table, where they have claimed 14 points from their last eight league matches, a return which is only four points behind the best points return in the league.

Inconsistency costing the visitors

Making the trip to Kingsmeadow is a Doncaster side who have been treading water of late as they have far from been at the top of their game. The visitors have claimed just nine points from their last eight league matches and have slipped down the table and away from the play-off picture.

Given that they have the fourth worst away record in the league, albeit having played away a lot less than some others, with just six points from their six away matches, their hopes of three points will not exactly be overwhelming. Rovers’ sole win on the road in the league this season came against a Southend United side who have been in awful form this campaign and look like near certainties to be one of the sides dropping a division come the end of the season.

Home win looks strong

With the recent upturn in form demonstrated by the hosts and a poor showing on the road by the visitors, it is hard to make a case for anything other than a home win in this contest. We do not believe it to be a runaway result, however, and a low scoring game with the hosts getting the edge appears to be the most likely outcome.

In terms of our correct score tip, while it is true that AFC Wimbledon do not exactly have the greatest return in front of goal and average just 1.11 goals per game on home soil, they also have scored in each of their last six home matches. The hosts have scored in 89% of their home games overall and given that Doncaster have failed to score in half of their away matches this season, it seems like they have their work cut out once more.
