Team News: AFC Wimbledon
Regarding absentees, thereโs just one fitness concern for the AFC Wimbledon gaffer Johnnie Jackson to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Sam Hutchinson (Back injury) is sidelined.

Team News: Port Vale
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there is only the one fitness problem for the Port Vale boss Darren Moore to be concerned about. Mitch Clark (Cartilage damage) wonโt be playing here.

Weโre of the view that Port Vale must be fancied to find the back of the net against this AFC Wimbledon lineup, but it possibly wonโt quite be as many as theyโll concede.
Our tip is for a narrow 2-1 win for AFC Wimbledon at the end of this one. Should be a good one.
