Recent respective form guides

Wimbledon's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Dons have conceded a disappointing 6 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

Coventry City's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Sky Blues's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 8 against.

Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 30 games have yielded only 18 points. Coventry City see themselves just below half way in the Nationwide League Division One, showing a record of 40 points from their 31 games played so far,
