AFC Wimbledon struggled to avoid relegation last season, finishing just five points above the drop zone. However, in the 2023/24 season, they have nearly surpassed the previous year’s points total, putting Johnnie Jackson’s team in the current playoff zone. Despite this, AFC Wimbledon has only claimed victory in one of their last four matches. In their most recent game, they suffered a 3-1 defeat at home in the FA Cup against Ipswich.
Oxford United’s journey mirrors that of AFC Wimbledon, having struggled to avoid relegation in the previous season. However, this year sees them in a stronger position, currently ranking fifth in the League One table. Recent games have been challenging for Oxford United, losing two of their last three matches. Their most recent defeat was a hard-hitting 6-2 loss against Coventry in the FA Cup on Saturday. Coventry dominated the game from the onset, resulting in the toughest defeat for Oxford United this season. Their upcoming match against a League Two team like AFC Wimbledon could provide the perfect opportunity for Oxford United to regain their confidence.
AFC Wimbledon vs Oxford United pick: Over 2.5 goals
AFC Wimbledon netted 14 goals in their recent six games. Conversely, Oxford United exceeded 2.5 goals in each of their last six matches. Betting on more than 2.5 goals seems to be the most promising wager for the forthcoming match.
