Our prediction is: AFC Wimbledon to win the 1st half

As the odds and the statistics clearly indicate, AFC Wimbledon is the superior side in this matchup. They play an aggressive attacking style that puts pressure on their opponents. We expect more or less the same gameplan at home against Newport County, which should result in a fast start.

That is why we are tipping AFC Wimbledon to win the first half in the half-time market.

Our prediction is: AFC Wimbledon to win
