AFC Wimbledon, Recent FormAny AFC Wimbledon pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 1-0 home defeat by Sutton United.
It seems pretty certain that Johnnie Jackson will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have conceded at least one goal in 9 of their 11 home games this season.
It's been mixed fortunes for Wimbledon at The Cherry Red Records Stadium recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
With 9 league goals in 6 games at home in The Cherry Red Records Stadium, Ali Al Hamadi will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Colchester United, Recent FormWith MK Dons sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Colchester United won't feel totally dejected with their 1-0 away defeat by them last time out.
They have bagged 6 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 13 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 21 of their 24 games.
With 5 defeats in their last 6 outings, they will be looking for a significant change in their current run of form. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 9 of their 12 away league games.
Goalscorer Joe Taylor will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Colchester United.
