AFC Wimbledon return to their home ground following a period of postponements and playing away on Saturday 12th October 2024 as they take on struggling Carlisle United.
Carlisle United have struggled this season and now they travel to face AFC Wimbledon who haven’t played at home since September following flooding. This could be an opportunity for both teams to pick up valuable points.
AFC Wimbledon Predicted Lineup - Owen Goodman, Riley Harbottle, Joe Lewis, Isaac Ogundere, Josh Neufville, James Furlong, Alistair Smith, Jake Reeves, Myles Hippolyte, Omar Bugiel, Mathew Stevens
AFC Wimbledon have only played seven games this season and have picked up 13 points. This leaves them in 13th place. However they have plenty of games in hand on the rest of the league.
Their lack of playing time may affect them coming into this game. They have after all only won one of their last four games. Three of which have taken place after the postponement of their other games.
Wimbledon will be hopeful their home fans can help lead them to victory in this game.
Carlisle United Predicted Lineup - Harry Lewis, Samuel Lavelle, Terell Thomas, Jon Mellish, Archie Davies, Cameron Harper, Harrison Neal, Harrison Biggins, Josh Vela, Charlie Wyke, Luke Armstrong
It has been a disappointing campaign thus far for Carlisle. They currently sit 22nd in the table on seven points from ten games.
Considering their good squad it comes as a surprise that they are doing so poorly. Manager Mike Williamson will be hopeful to begin getting the most out of this squad.
Their main issue comes from the fact they have conceded more goals than any other team in the league this season (19).
These two teams have played one another on six occasions so far.
Carlisle have the advantage over AFC Wimbledon having won two of those games. This to this weekend’s home side’s one victory. There have been more draws than anything else (3).
The last match between the two teams ended in a 0-0 draw.
11th February 2023 - AFC Wimbledon 0-0 Carlisle United - EFL League Two
17th September 2022 - Carlisle United 2-1 AFC Wimbledon - EFL League Two
23rd February 2016 - AFC Wimbledon 1-0 Carlisle United - EFL League Two
22nd August 2015 - Carlisle United 1-1 AFC Wimbledon - EFL League Two
17th January 2015 - AFC Wimbledon 1-3 Carlisle United - EFL League Two
Despite how they have played in recent weeks Carlisle United do have a decent squad. Their results this season are far from expected. And with AFC Wimbledon having played less games recently (due to their pitch flooding issues) we would expect them to be slightly off the mark.
This game could go either way but we expect it to end in a draw.
