- Recent visits: Wimbledon have won two of their last three visits to Hayes Lane.
- Head-to-head: Both teams have won twice each in the last four meetings between the clubs.
- Home form: Bromley are yet to win a home game in League One 2026/2027 (D1, L0).
Bromley can bare their teeth in derby-lite
These two clubs are very even in the early-season standings with Bromley standing 15th on four points from three games, one better than The Dons in 14th with the same total. It is very early in the 2026/2027 campaign and both sides will have set some lofty targets for themselves this season.
Andy Woodman has been Bromley boss since 29 March 2021 and has built a team that plays in a solid back three, a compact mid-block and can hurt teams on the counter or from set pieces. However, this past week has been a roller-coaster of a ride for The Ravens, as they beat Barnsley 1-0 away, drew 1-1 with Cambridge United at home and then got thrashed 7-2 by Sheffield Wednesday in Yorkshire.
Victor Adeboyejo is their talisman and has scored three goals in three League One matches so far, so the Ravens will run at Wimbledon through the ex-Bristol City forward. The Dons can match Bromley's shape and system quite well, as they often play with a pair of wing-backs themselves, so this is likely to be a game won by the team that controls the middle and executes best from set piece situations.
Wimbledon looking for a first away win of the season
Johnnie Jackson took over as AFC Wimbledon boss on 16 May 2022 and he has moulded his team into a well-organised, disciplined but low-tempo shape that always has structure first and foremost.
The last three games have seen Wimbledon draw 0-0 with Reading at home, lose 3-0 to Fulham in the EFL Cup 2026/2027 away and then beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at Plough Lane. The Dons will look to dominate the ball and control the game against a Bromley side that have a mixed record at Copperjax Community Stadium in 2026/2027 (D1, L2).
Squeaky clean stats tell the story
Defence and attack
Bromley have conceded 1.00 goal per home game in League One 2026/2027, but their recent back line has been rocked by heavy damage. Wimbledon have scored 0.00 goals and conceded 3.00 per away game in League One 2026/2027, which is a clear danger sign for this trip.
Key players
- Myles Hippolyte is The Dons' most advanced finisher with one goal in three League One appearances in 2026/2027, while Adeboyejo has four of Bromley's six goals in their last five, so both teams should try to get their talisman on the ball as often as possible.
Betting tips
Under 2.5 goals at 1.83 and Both Teams to Score – No at 1.95 seem excellent bets for this game, while 3.3 on Wimbledon to grab their first away victory is not bad. The odds make Bromley slight favorites at 2.12, but with Wimbledon having two wins in their last three trips to Hayes Lane and the H2H record being even (W2 each), we'll side with the draw at 3.4 and a narrow Bromley win.
