Wimbledon travel to Salford this weekend, where they will look to continue their good run of form. The most recent meeting between the two sides ended in a dramatic 3-2 win for this week’s hosts.
Salford
Salford have struggled for consistency this season, with their up-and-down results putting them in 20th place, with six wins in 20 games. Neil Wood’s side has scored the tenth most goals in the league, 30, but it is their defensive record of conceding 1.65 goals per game on average that has let them down.
The Ammies have failed to win any of their last six matches across all competitions, however, their most recent 0-0 draw against top-of-the-table Stockport may just give them the confidence to progress.
Wimbledon
The Dons have had a really solid season so far, picking up 32 points and winning eight of their 20 matches. Wimbledon boasts the fourth-best defensive record in League Two, conceding just 1.1 goals per game on average and keeping the joint most clean sheets, eight. They’re also dangerous in attack, scoring 1.65 goals per game on average, the seventh-highest record.
Going into this weekend’s game, they’ve won three of their last four matches, with the latest of those coming in the rampant 4-0 home win over Swindon.
Verdict?
The visitors will fancy their chances this weekend, with three points definitively achievable. Wimbledon have the fourth-best away record in League Two, and Salford have the third-worst home record.
The final prediction is Salford 0-2 Wimbledon.
