AFC Wimbledon

vs

Blackpool FC

Preview

AFC Wimbledon

• AFC Wimbledon have won one and lost one of their last two home League One 2025/2026 matches.
• 14th-placed AFC Wimbledon have amassed 43 points from 33 games while 20th-placed Blackpool have taken 38 from 35 in a congested League One table.
• However, both sides have identical recent forms, having each picked up one win, two draws and two losses in their last five games.
• The Dons’ recent form has seen them win 3-1 at home against Bradford City and draw 2-2 away against Mansfield Town.
• Johnnie Jackson has made a compact and well-drilled side, they are solid defensively and are excellent on set pieces, which should see them be tough to break down on Wednesday.

Blackpool

• Blackpool have won none, drawn one and lost one of their last two away League One 2025/2026 contests.
• Blackpool have been in equally mixed form, drawing 2-2 away to Bolton before losing 4-0 away to Lincoln City and then drawing 1-1 at home to Wigan Athletic.
• Blackpool score on average 0.88 goals away in the league and have conceded an average of 1.71 away goals, which suggests that their attack has been nullified and that the opposition have had the measure of their defenders on the road.
• They are not as defensively solid as Wimbledon and will look to use their pace to exploit wide areas and transition quickly, which should set up an interesting tactical battle.

Head-to-Head

Key Players

• Ashley Fletcher has been Blackpool’s main goal threat, finding the net 13 times in 32 League One appearances this term.
• Meanwhile, Wimbledon’s Marcus Browne is their most reliable source of goals, scoring 12 goals in 29 matches.
• However, they can also get the ball into dangerous areas and are lethal from the back post, with Mathew Stevens hitting four of their last ten goals.
