Dons and Chairboys face off for 15th and 11th
Wycombe Wanderers are the slight bookies' favourites at 11/10 for this Saturday's trip to AFC Wimbledon, which is about right given the form of the two clubs. Johnnie Jackson has kept the Dons relatively solid since he took over on 16 May 2022, but his side are winless in their last five, including a 5-0 hammering away to Sheffield Wednesday earlier today. It was a similar story at Plymouth Argyle a week ago when The Dons were beaten 2-1. So AFC Wimbledon's 12 points from ten games has them in 15th in the League One 2026/2027 table and only slightly ahead of their visitors on Saturday, who have 13 points in 11th. This is a mid-table matchup and the bookmakers look to have the odds about right with Wycombe 11/10, Wimbledon 107/50 and the draw 12/5. However, there is scope to get a bigger price on the visitors as they have shown far more in the last month than the bookmakers are giving them credit for.
Set-piece battle looks like a key factor
The Chairboys were excellent in their 2-0 win over Notts County earlier today, bouncing back well from a 4-1 win over Bristol Rovers in the EFL Trophy. Those two wins followed a 1-4 home loss to Luton Town and have Tom Hounsell's men looking much more efficient and direct since 8 September 2026. It is a clash of different tactical approaches with Jackson's 3-at-the-back setup being built for compact defending and fast transitions with the wing-backs providing width. Hounsell's 4-2-3-1 is more pragmatic and set-piece friendly with his double pivot designed to absorb pressure and then allow the number 10 to create and the wide players to get forward. So, this should be a battle of wide overloads versus compact defending and set pieces and transitions are likely to decide it. Jayden Wareham has the most goals for the visitors with three in his four League One 2026/2027 appearances, so the Chairboys have that little bit more of an edge up front than the Dons, who look to Jayden Stockley to score their goals with three in eight.
Visitors can edge close fixture
The last four head-to-head meetings have been even-stevens at two wins apiece with no draws, but this contest does look a little more clear-cut on paper as the away side are in better form. However, it will be a cagey contest so both teams to score - Yes at 39/50 looks a live angle, but under 2.5 goals at 9/10 also fits the fixture well.
Wycombe will edge it by a goal, however, because they have a little more quality up front than the Dons.
