Head-to-Head

AFC Wimbledon have never recorded a competitive victory over Blackpool at Bloomfield Road, having drawn one and lost three of their previous away encounters. The Dons are targeting a fifth consecutive victory in all competitions. Blackpool's shaky backline has been a factor in their struggles, with 17 goals conceded in 10 matches this season.

The match is expected to be closely contested, with both teams seeking to improve their League One standings. Blackpool's home form has been decent, with an unbeaten run of four league matches at Bloomfield Road. AFC Wimbledon's winning streak will be put to the test against a Blackpool side desperate for points.
