Swindon vs AFC Wimbledon Predictions

• Both teams scored in six of Swindon’s seven competitive games this season.
• Both teams registered in three of Wimbledon’s first four league matches of the campaign.
• Swindon won their first two League One home matches of the new season.

Swindon hoping to harness home advantage

Newly promoted Swindon’s up and down start to life in League One continued last weekend when they were beaten 3-1 at Peterborough, just a week after they had bested Burton Albion at the County Ground in impressive style.

Town’s 4-2 win over Albion on September 26^th, was their second victory on home turf in as many games, and while their form on the road continues to disappoint, their early goal-scoring performances on their own turf bodes well for the rest of the campaign.

Wimbledon meanwhile, tasted defeat for the first time in League One this term in a 2-1 reverse at home to Accrington Stanley in their last outing, despite taking an early lead through Ryan Longman.

Even in defeat, The Dons did manage to extend their run of scoring in every league game they’ve contested since the new campaign kicked-off – something Swindon have come close to matching by notching in three of their first four League One tests.

Town are still searching for their first clean sheet of the new season however – in fact both teams registered in six of their seven matches in all competitions so far, while Wimbledon’s’ return of just one shutout out from four games also points to defensive issues that Glyn Hodges will be keen to fix.

With sides looking less than solid at the back, the both teams to score market looks well worth backing again for Saturday’s game, though our correct score prediction backs the hosts to eventually emerge at 2-1 victors.

A winning start of two wins from two at the County Ground should arm Swindon with a powerful mix of confidence and momentum for their latest test there on Saturday, and having watched Wimbledon concede two or more goals in three out of four League One fixtures since the summer, The Robins will have identified weaknesses to exploit.
