AFC Wimbledon have become somewhat of a form team of late and, without losing any of their last five, they’ve started to climb the table. Usually such form is hard to ignore, but Oxford have fared pretty well themselves of late, especially at home.
From a betting point of view, ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ is the way to go in this fixture. Wimbledon might have been involved in a few high-scoring encounters recently, but in Oxford they face a tight defensive unit and therefore could hit a bit of a road-block here.
Since they’re not massive scorers, Oxford have prided themselves on their defensive nous this season and, especially of late, the hosts have used it to good effect. With just 11 goals conceded, Oxford boast the third best defensive record in the division. In addition, they’ve only conceded five goals.
The hosts have kept things tight in recent weeks. Just one of their last five matches has seen more than two goals hit the net, while less than three goals were scored in each of their last three in front of a home crowd.
The visitors are likely to face a much harder task than in recent weeks and it is fancied that a low-scoring affair awaits fans and punters alike here.
Football predictions including accumulators, both teams to score, both teams to score and win, correct score and £10 to £1,000 challenge!
