AFC Wimbledon v Burton

The first of our Feb 9 League One betting tips is AFC Wimbledon v Burton. AFC Wimbledon embarks on game 31 of their season stuck to the foot of League One with stats reading six wins and five draws against an alarming 19 defeats, leaving them on 23 points. The fact they are already seven behind second-bottom Shrewsbury and nine behind Bristol Rovers and safety suggests they are a team destined for the drop and merely playing out their remaining fixtures before being added back onto the League Two fixture list. A sad state of affairs for all concerned; however, there’s plenty of football still to be played and supporters will be reluctant to throw in the towel until relegation has been confirmed.

The locals set-up for this match on the back of a painful three-game losing streak and they were spotted ending on the wrong side of a narrow 1-0 result at the Stadium of Light last Saturday afternoon, starting February the same way they ended January. McGeady scored the winning goal for Sunderland that day, bulging the net on 67 minutes to break a stubborn opponent and that was enough to separate the teams after 90 minutes of play that threw up a combined four shots on target. One to forget and the paying public had every right to feel hard done by at the whistle. Fancy Wimbledon to bounce back? It’s not a bet for us, but supporters can help themselves to the 2/1 offered up by Bet365.

Albion Our Ace

Burton Albion rank as the shrewd investment in this match with the away side boarding the team bus showing stats of 10-8-12, leaving them in 13^th. Much work is to be done if they are to gate crash the promotion party this season with Peterborough in sixth currently 11 points off in the distance. At least another season spent mixing it in the third-tier of English football looks Albion’s fate. They are winless in four, following a loss with three draws on the bounce.

That trio started with a 2-2 away to Doncaster – not a bad point to pick-up – and was followed with a 1-1 when hosting Bradford City in their final match of January. February started in a similar fashion, finishing goalless with Oxford United in a match they had the chances to win. A red card shown to Brayford inside the first dozen minutes ruined their chances of picking up three points and the share meant Oxford’s search for an away win this season continues. Another draw appeals at 12/5 – top price with Bet365; however, we’re backing Burton for the win at 13/10 with Unibet.
