AFC Wimbledon
LDLLLW
AFC Wimbledon fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 0-1 EFL Trophy success vs Bristol Rovers.
It has been all too rare in recent times that AFC Wimbledon have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that The Dons have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 12 goals along the way.
Sunderland
WWDDDW 📈
Sunderland will go into the match following a 2-0 EFL Trophy win as they beat Port Vale in their last match.
A run of resolute performances from the Sunderland defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their last 6 fixtures overall. During the same time, their forwards have scored 10. That aside, we must now wait to see if that trend will continue on in this game or not.
