Peterborough travel south to face struggling Wimbledon in an intriguing looking Sky Bet League One clash on Sunday. The home side have struggled so far this season – sitting outside the relegation zone on goal difference whilst Posh are only on point off the play off places. Neil Ardley’s run as manager of AFC Wimbledon continues to go from strength to strength as the former Wimbledon celebrated his 5 year anniversary in charge of the club last month.

AFC Wimbledon
Peterborough UnitedAFC Wimbledon
Having cemented their place in League One last season, Ardley will be hoping his team can pull away from relegation trouble as quickly as possible. With 15 points from their 16 games so far, goals have been the problem as The Dons have only managed 9 goals in the league so far this season – comfortably the lowest total in the division.
Peterborough United
Posh are currently in 9th place in League One and look well placed to embark on a promotion push this term. Grant McCann’s men have notched 24 points from their 15 games played so far this season and are the only team to have defeated high-flying Shrewsbury Town this term. Jack Marriott has been prolific so far this term – notching 11 goals for the Posh, averaging a goal every 127 minutes.
Head to Head
AFC Wimbledon have a relatively short football league history – following their resurgence as a football league side in the late 2000’s. These two sides have only faced off on three previous occasions – with the honours being shared between the two teams (1 win each and 1 draw). AFC Wimbledon won 1-0 at Peterborough last season and the corresponding fixture at Kingsmeadow last term finished as a 0-0 draw.
