Ipswich Town look like favourites! AFC Wimbledon vs Ipswich Town Prediction
AFC Wimbledon
One of the matches in the EFL Cup will take place on Wednesday in London, where AFC Wimbledon will host Ipswich Town at Cherry Red Records Stadium. Here is a match preview and prediction from the experts at Dailysports.
AFC Wimbledon
The Dons did not have a particularly impressive season last year, finishing in 10th place in the League Two table. They were only five points away from the seventh position, occupied by Crawley Town. However, the team faltered at the end of the season, losing three of their last five matches.
In the new League Two campaign, Johnny Jackson's side started with a home victory over Colchester United, winning 4-2, but they couldn't build on that success. In the second round, Wimbledon suffered a 0-2 defeat away to Bromley. However, they bounced back last weekend with a narrow 1-0 away win against Cheltenham. It's worth noting that Wimbledon advanced to this round of the EFL Cup by defeating Bromley 2-1.
Ipswich Town
The Tractor Boys have not played in the top tier of English football for over 20 years, but they finally returned this season. Ipswich had an excellent campaign last year, competing for the top spot but ultimately finishing second behind Leicester City, which still secured them a direct promotion to the Premier League.
In their Premier League debut, Ipswich put up a respectable fight against Liverpool at home but lost 0-2. Last weekend, they faced reigning champions Manchester City and initially took the lead in the 7th minute. However, City responded with a dominant performance, eventually winning 4-1.
