The AFC Wimbledon stadium will host a League One clash between the Dons and visiting Bolton Wanderers on Saturday lunchtime. After a solid start, Johnnie Jackson's Wombles have struggled for wins of late as opposed to the visiting Trotters who under Steven Schumacher have won three of their last four to move up the league. Check out our detailed prediction for the match below.
The current league table emphasises the different trajectories of the two teams. On the back of their recent dismal form, the Wombles lie 17th in the table with 32 points from 26 games. Bolton have played three games more, 29, but lie third in the table with 49 points, ahead of Stockport County on goal difference and six adrift of Lincoln City in second.
Wimbledon's plummet into the relegation battle after a positive start has come with a run of just one win in their last 13 league games. Their recent games include a 4-2 win in the Football League Trophy over West Ham U21s. The Dons then lost 1-0 at home to relegation-threatened Doncaster Rovers before last weekend's 1-1 draw away to Rotherham United.
In contrast, Bolton's league form is far more positive with just one defeat in their last seven league games. Recent results have included a 0-0 draw away to Stevenage and then two 2-1 home wins over Leyton Orient last weekend and Burton Albion in midweek.

Our AFC Wimbledon vs Bolton Prediction
Our prediction for the AFC Wimbledon vs. Bolton Wanderers League One match is: HT/FT - Draw/Bolton Wanderers.
We almost picked a straight up Bolton win here, but the data revealed that both teams have a strong recent tendency to go in at half time level in matches. Defensively, both teams are pretty solid, with the Dons home defensive record strong and Bolton's away scoring record not as strong as their home, as such a likelt low-scoring affair adds value to the HT/FT market with us selecting Bolton to land the win,
