AFC Wimbledon
DLLWWW 📈
AFC Wimbledon are hoping to win again following the 1-0 League Two Play-offs triumph over Notts County.
The only player to score from AFC Wimbledon was Josh Neufville (8').
Games with AFC Wimbledon have tended to be fairly insipid affairs of late with ineffective forward attacks becoming an established trait. Over their past half dozen games, the tiny aggregate goal return of 6 has been recorded between both them and their combatants at an average of 1 goal per match.
Walsall
DDLWWW 📈
Walsall will go into the clash following on from a 2-1 League Two Play-offs win vs Chesterfield in their previous game.
For Walsall, goals were scored by Charlie Lakin (81') and Levi Amantchi (95'). Armando Dobra (94') was the scorer for Chesterfield.
A series of hard-working displays from the Walsall defensive unit has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their past 6 clashes in total. Over that same time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 7. That kind of trend might not be sustained into this match, though.

Team News: AFC Wimbledon
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the AFC Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson to contend with from a near full-strength group of players. Sam Hutchinson (Back injury) misses out.

Team News: Walsall
In an otherwise healthy squad, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Walsall boss Mat Sadler to contend with. George Hall (unknown injury) won’t be in action.

Prediction
Our thinking is that Walsall and AFC Wimbledon should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw. We’re therefore expecting a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 score draw at the end of this one.
