The ToughSheet Community Stadium will host Saturday's mid-table League One clash between hosts Bolton Wanderers and visiting AFC Wimbledon. Two points and two places in the table separate the Dons from the Trotters ahead of the game, and there is a history of very close encounters between the two teams over the last few seasons. Will we predict either of the two teams to win, or will we back another match outcome?
Currently, both teams sit in mid-table after playing six League One games so far. Wimbledon are 12th in the table, with nine points. Bolton sit two places below in 14th, with seven points, yet the Trotters have only lost one game this season, compared to the Dons' three.
Bolton comes into this game on the back of four league draws, all by a 1-1 scoreline. That includes fixtures against Barnsley (away), Reading (Home), Lincoln (Home) and Blackpool (Away). In midweek, the Trotters tasted victory for the first time in five games with a 1-0 win over Rotherham in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Group Stage.
It has been a tough period for Wimbledon, who have won just one of their last five games in all competitions. They were beaten 2-1 by Reading in the EFL Cup Second Round, then lost 3-2 in the league away to Bradford City last weekend. Worse was to come in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in midweek, as they suffered a 5-1 home defeat to Stevenage.
