After losing by a score of 2-1 in their previous match against Gillingham in League Two, AFC Wimbledon will be looking to improve on their performance here. Ali Al Hamadi was the only AFC Wimbledon player to score (52′). Gillingham received goals from Cheye Alexander (66′) and Max Ehmer (58′). The number of nil scores has been a consistent theme in recent AFC Wimbledon matches.
In this one, Stevenage and their traveling supporters will be hoping for a better outcome. Tranmere Rovers’ Josh Hawkes scored in the 73rd minute. The statistics don’t lie: Stevenage has been outscored 11 times in their last six games, losing 5 of those games. Stevenage has the ability to perform much better in defense. Of course, this match may not continue that pattern.

Prediction
We think Stevenage will score at least once to give AFC Wimbledon the upper hand, so it may not be easy for them to break them down. As a result, we are tipping Stevenage to win the game by a score of 0-1 at halftime. It shouldn’t contain much.
We say: Stevenage 0-2 AFC Wimbledon Stevenage hasn’t won in seven matches in a row, but we think they’ll find their rhythm in this one and get their first win of the month on Tuesday night.
Despite Wimbledon’s recent home dominance, we believe Stevenage will find their scoring touch in this contest despite their superior defense.
