FootyMAD Wimbledon match preview

History of the Nottingham Forest v Wimbledon fixture

Nottm Forest prepare to entertain Wimbledon at City Ground on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Forest have the slight edge, having won 6 of the 14 games compared to Wimbledon's 4 wins.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at City Ground was just last season, in August 2002, with Nottm Forest running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Nottingham Forest have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. A total of 9 goals have been scored by the Forest in those games, with 5 conceded.

The away form of Wimbledon is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the Dons have hit 4 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Nottm Forest's 17 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 4 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its a close one to call, but I think that Forest's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Wimbledon. Home Win
