Sunday sees a key League One clash between two teams battling to stay in the division next season. AFC Wimbledon host Northampton Town with the Dons recent form pushing them away from the drop zone, but the Cobblers poor displays of late have seen them dragged deeper into the relegation battle. What will be our match prediction for this crucial drop zone battle?
The current L2 table lays bare the problems both these teams have faced. AFC Wimbledon lie in relative safety in 14th place with 43 points from 33 games. However, they are just seven points outside the drop zone. Northampton Town lie 23rd with 35 points from 35 games, three points adrift of safety.
AFC Wimbledon's recent results have been somewhat mixed, a 3-3 draw away to Barnsley was followed by a 4-1 defeat at Cardiff City. However, after that AFC Wimbledon beat Bradford City 3-1 at home and then last weekend, they earned a creditable 2-2 draw away to Mansfield Town.
Northampton have not won any of their last six games. That run includes a 4-0 defeat at Lincoln, a 2-1 home loss to Leyton Orient and another home defeat 1-0 to Port Vale. The Cobblers then drew 1-1 at home to Peterborough last weekend but in midweek lost 2-1 in the Football League Trophy semi-final at Luton Town.

Our AFC Wimbledon vs Northampton Town Prediction
Our prediction for the AFC Wimbledon vs. Northampton Town League One match is: AFC Wimbledon wins.
Northampton's recent form and long-term form over the course of the season is very worrying for Cobblers fans. They do boast a good record against AFC Wimbledon, with two wins this season over them in league and cup, but the Dons are in much better form than their opponents and have home advantage in this key game. As such, we're backing them to pick up the three points here.
