No team in League One has scored fewer goals than AFC Wimbledon and Johnnie Jackson’s team will be desperate to drag themselves back up the table after failing to win their last seven league games when they face Blackpool this weekend.
The Tangerines head to the capital a point worse off than the Dons and just two places above the League One relegation zone, but one defeat in their last five games will make them believe they can leapfrog their hosts with a fourth league win of the campaign.
AFC Wimbledon v Blackpool Tips Summary
Best Bet - Blackpool draw no bet @ 5/6
Alternative Bet - Josh Bowler to score at any time @ 10/3
Bet Builder - Both teams to score, over 11 corners & over one Blackpool goal @ 21/4
AFC Wimbledon v Blackpool Prediction
Best Bet: Blackpool draw no bet @ 5/6
Both AFC Wimbledon and Blackpool have had underwhelming starts to the League One season, but it could be the visitors who are celebrating after the pair lock horns at Plough Lane on Saturday.
Johnnie Jackson’s hosts are a point ahead of the Lancashire outfit, but they probably have more to worry about as they have gone ten league and cup games without a win and they are the third tier’s lowest scorers with just nine goals, six of which have come from centre-forward Jayden Stockley.
The Dons generally punch above their weight at this level and it could be that Blackpool just hold the advantage, although a lack of confidence means it could be prudent to take the draw-no-bet option with little to separate the pair in the betting.
The Seasiders needed extra time to see off National League AFC Hornchurch last week, but progressing should have given them a lift, and they look the more likely winners.
Alternative Bet: Josh Bowler to score at any time @ 10/3
Josh Bowler came up with the crucial extra-time goal to help the Seasiders through their FA Cup tie with AFC Hornchurch last week and he can repeat the trick when he and his team head to Plough Lane on Saturday.
That was his first goal since the Seasiders lost 2-1 to Barnsley on 2nd September, but he has had multiple efforts on goal in eight of his 12 league appearances this season, so the scope is there for him to make his mark once more, spurred on by being cast as the cup hero last week.
AFC Wimbledon v Blackpool Bet Builder Tip
Both teams to score
Over 11 corners
Over one Blackpool goal
Pays @ 21/4
AFC Wimbledon kept clean sheets in five of their opening seven League One matches this season, but that seems quite a distant memory as their opponents have generally had their measure since.
Both teams have scored in four of their last six league games and with Blackpool keeping just two clean sheets in their 12 outings, there seems a strong chance that we will see goals at both ends at Plough Lane.
Confidence levels may not be sky high in either camp but there should be a decent number of corners in the contest.
The Dons have earned 40 in their six home league games to date, while the Seasiders have had 35 on the six occasions they have been on their travels, so it is worth considering adding over 11 corners in a Bet Builder.
Wimbledon’s defensive concerns point to Blackpool scoring at least twice, something that has happened five times in the league this season, while their hosts have conceded at least twice in four of their last five League One outings.
