AFC Wimbledon, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 home win over Walsall in their last league game, AFC Wimbledon will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Ali Al Hamadi will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for AFC Wimbledon.
Rochdale, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Crawley Town will have left the Rochdale squad feeling a little deflated.
When it comes to attacking power Jim Bentley will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 10 away games out of 19 this season, he will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 33 of their 38 league matches.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Goalscorer Devante Rodney will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Rochdale.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Rochdale who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-2 to AFC Wimbledon.
Wimbledon will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with The Dale. The Dons have an impressive record of scoring goals against Rochdale, with a tally of 13 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters. When Rochdale visit The Dons in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
It's been a long time since Wimbledon have lost this fixture, having picked up points against Rochdale in 10 league games in a row.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Wimbledon at their home ground Plough Lane, Rochdale man Ian Henderson will be looking for more of the same in this one.
With no real injury worries, Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Rochdale manager Jim Bentley has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
