History of the Wimbledon v West Ham United fixture

Wimbledon are ready to welcome West Ham United to National Hockey Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 11 previous games, with the Dons winning just 2.

The previous match played between the two at National Hockey Stadium was more than three years back, in December 1999, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premiership 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 15 have been leaked at the other end.

West Ham's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. 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 19 games have yielded only 13 points. West Ham's 29 points from 18 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
