Notts County host AFC Wimbledon in League One. Neither side has had an easy season so far, and there's not much separating them in the table right now.
Notts County look to have found a touch more composure in recent weeks, while Wimbledon have struggled for goals at both ends of the pitch. How that translates once they're on the same pitch is the interesting bit.

Wimbledon's equivalent run reads three wins, seven draws and ten losses, with just 14 scored and 32 conceded. That goal difference stands out, though the sample mixes league games with cup and trophy fixtures rather than being pure League One form.
Wimbledon have been leaking goals regularly in this run, which is worth watching on the road.
Comparative Team Statistics: Notts County vs AFC Wimbledon

Head-to-head history
The recent head-to-head record actually leans heavily towards Wimbledon. In the last six meetings, spanning 2023 to 2025, they won five of them, with Notts County's only win coming by a single goal in October 2024.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| League Two | AFC Wimbledon | Notts County | 17.05.2025 | 1-0 |
| League Two | Notts County | AFC Wimbledon | 10.05.2025 | 0-1 |

| League Two | Notts County | AFC Wimbledon | 23.01.2016 | 0-2 |
| League Two | AFC Wimbledon | Notts County | 19.09.2015 | 2-1 |
All of those games came in League Two rather than League One, and neither side looks much like the teams that played those matches. It's interesting context, but not something to lean on too heavily given how differently both sides are playing now.
Where they stand
In the table data we have, Notts County sit on 14 points from 12 games, just one point and one place above Wimbledon, who have 13 from 13. Notts County also hold the healthier goal difference, at minus one compared to Wimbledon's minus twelve.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | Stevenage | 12 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 17/13 | 16 |
| 17 | Notts County | 12 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 13/14 | 14 |
| 18 | AFC Wimbledon | 13 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 9/21 | 13 |
| 19 | Doncaster | 13 | 3 | 3 | 7 | 14/22 | 12 |
That's a narrow slice of the full table rather than the complete picture, but it does show two sides who are close together rather than one side clearly ahead of the other.
Players to watch
Wimbledon's main source of goals has been J. Stockley, who has three in eight appearances. On the other side, Notts County's N. Tsaroulla has chipped in two assists in seven games, suggesting some creative spark in behind the attack.
Wimbledon's M. Hippolyte has picked up three yellow cards in seven matches without a red, which is worth flagging given how often discipline matters in these tighter League One games.

What might unfold
Notts County's steadier recent form and tighter goal difference suggest they should have a bit more control at home. Wimbledon's leaky defence this season makes a clean sheet for them hard to picture.
That said, both sides have drawn plenty of matches lately, seven apiece in their respective runs, so a tight, low-key game wouldn't be any great surprise either.
A cagey, low-scoring contest is a realistic outcome given how often both sides have drawn recently.

With no odds attached to this one yet, there's nothing concrete to weigh a selection against, so we're not backing a side here.
Notts County edge it on recent form and the table, but the history between these two and Wimbledon's occasional resilience mean it's too close to call with any real confidence.
