AFC Wimbledon
- AFC Wimbledon have won one and lost two of their last five League One games, drawing the other two.
- 14th-placed AFC Wimbledon are 8 points and nine places better off than 23rd-placed Northampton Town, sitting on 43 points from 33 games, but they still have work to do to finish the 2025-2026 campaign in a mid-table position.
- Johnnie Jackson’s Dons have been more pragmatic and flexible in their approach since he took over in May 2022, setting up in a 3-5-2 system with wing-backs who like to build from the back and use the wide areas to create space for the strikers.
Northampton Town
- Northampton Town have won none, drawn two, and lost three of their last five League One fixtures.
- Kevin Nolan took charge in December 2024 and brought in a high-tempo, pressing game based on a back three, direct play and strong set-piece play.
Head-to-Head
- The clash of styles between these two clubs should see an entertaining and fast-paced game in which the wingers have a major role to play and second-ball contests are crucial.
- Kevin Nolan's men should be capable of troubling the hosts with their aggressive play and directness on Sunday.
- AFC Wimbledon have failed to win any of their last three meetings with Northampton Town, a sequence that includes a 2-1 away defeat in the EFL Trophy just three weeks ago.
Key Players
- Mathew Stevens has scored four goals in his last five appearances for Wimbledon and has been their spark up front when they needed it, but Marcus Browne remains the club’s top scorer in the league with 12 in 29 games.
- Tom Eaves is Northampton’s leading goal scorer with eight in 25 League One appearances this season and has been particularly useful of late, scoring three of his side’s four goals in their last five.
- Northampton’s away performance is terrible with just three wins and 12 goals scored in 17 away games, but their recent head-to-head record against Wimbledon and direct approach should ensure they pose a real threat on Sunday.
