Wimbledon prepare to entertain Preston North End at National Hockey Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Dons.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at National Hockey Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2003, with Wimbledon running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Wimbledon at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Dons will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
