There's some rare Friday night action in League One this week as Northampton Town host AFC Wimbledon with both teams struggling for form at present. The Cobblers have been lacking consistency all season under Kevin Nolan while Johnnie Jackson's Dons had started the campaign strongly, but have struggled for form in recent weeks. Here's our prediction for the match.
In terms of league position, the visitors have a slight advantage. Northampton lie 14th in the table with 24 points from their 19 league games and a -2 goal difference. AFC Wimbledon are in tenth position with 27 points from their 19 league matches, but with a -3 goal difference, ostensibly because of their poor recent form.
Northampton have won two of their last four games. That run started with a 3-0 away win over Plymouth Argyle, which was followed by a 2-0 home win over Wycombe in the Football League Trophy. They then drew 1-1 at home to Huddersfield Town but last weekend went down to a 2-1 defeat away to an improving Peterborough United.
It has been a miserable run of form for AFC Wimbledon in the league. A 3-3 draw away at Huddersfield was a positive, as was a 5-1 away win over an under-strength Cardiff in the Football League Trophy. However, they were beaten 1-0 away to Exeter in the league in midweek and last weekend were held 0-0 at home by Mansfield Town.

Our Northampton Town vs AFC Wimbledon Prediction
Our prediction for the Northampton Town vs. AFC Wimbledon League One match is: Northampton wins.
This is a tricky game to predict as neither of these two teams is in particularly good form and the data set for both paints a very mixed picture. However, AFC Wimbledon are stuck in a rut of poor results and without a win in six games and their record against Northampton is poor historically. Northampton's inconsistency makes this trickier than it should really be, but we are backing them to take a narrow win here.
