Notts County – AFC Wimbledon

Notts County host AFC Wimbledon in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the lower half of the table, with the home side sitting 16th on seven points after a balanced 7‑7 goal record from one win, four draws and a loss. Wimbledon sit comfortably in seventh place, having amassed ten points from three victories, a draw and two defeats, though their goal difference of minus two (five scored, seven conceded) hints at defensive frailties they will need to tidy up. The two clubs have yet to meet this season, but the gap in points and recent form suggests the visitors will be the slight favorites. A win for County could spark a much‑needed lift out of the relegation zone, while Wimbledon will be looking to close the gap on the promotion places.
