Home: AFC Wimbledon
- AFC Wimbledon have enjoyed a solid if unspectacular start to life in League One, positioned 13th with 27 points from 20 games.
- The Dons have won four, drawn two and lost three of their nine home games in England’s third tier, which shows that Johnnie Jackson’s men are somewhat vulnerable at Plough Lane.
- Marcus Browne’s 5 goals from 16 league appearances make him their primary goal threat.
Away: Stevenage Borough
- Stevenage Borough are fourth in the table with 35 points from 19 matches and have been the picture of consistency this term, although their form has dipped a little of late with only one win from their last five.
- Stevenage Borough have won three of their last four away matches against AFC Wimbledon.
- Stevenage are unbeaten in their last two away games in League One (Won 1, drawn 1).
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record heavily favours Stevenage Borough , who have won four of the last five meetings between the clubs and thrashed Wimbledon 5-1 away in the EFL Trophy only three months ago.
Key Players
- Jamie Reid
- Jamie Reid has been a prolific goalscorer since his move to Stevenage with 8 goals in 17 League One appearances this season, including two in his last five.
- Marcus Browne
- Marcus Browne’s 5 goals from 16 league appearances make him their primary goal threat.
- Aron Sasu

Betting Insights
- Stevenage are available at 2.76, which is a big price for a team that have won five of their ten away games.
- With Wimbledon’s tight, compact defensive block up against Boro’s vertical, transition-based approach, the visitors may struggle to unlock the defense but the hosts will look to exploit set-piece and counter-attacking opportunities.
- The Under 2.5 goals market is priced up at 1.45.
Prediction
- Expect a close, cagey game with chances limited at both ends.
- A smaller stake on Stevenage Borough to win is the advised play.
