History of the Wimbledon v Rotherham United fixture

Wimbledon prepare to entertain Rotherham United at National Hockey Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, beating their opponents 3 times from 5 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at National Hockey Stadium was just last season, in November 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Wimbledon's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Dons have scored 8, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Rotherham U.'s away form is none too clever either, losing just 1 from the last six, but amazingly drawing the other 5. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 21 games have yielded only 14 points. Rotherham U. are currently lying in 19th place in Nationwide League Division One having mustered a points tally of 23 from their 21 matches played.

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. Score draw

Sequence statistics:
Wimbledon 5 games since last home draw.
Not drawn a match in their last 10 .
Rotherham U. Not won in previous 18 away matches.
