AFC Wimbledon v Notts County

AFC Wimbledon carry a one goal lead into their home leg of this play-off semi-final, and will be buoyed by County’s top goalscorer, Alassana Jatta, getting himself sent off in stoppage time of the first leg, which sees him suspended for this encounter.

The Dons are the favourites to progress, but County created plenty of chances in the first leg, only to be denied by some excellent goalkeeping and defending.

⭐ AFC Wimbledon v Notts County Best Bet

➡️ Back Both Teams to Score @ 1.83 on bet365

As touched on in the introduction, County were unlucky to come away with nothing from the first leg on Saturday evening. They won the xG battle 1.3 to 0.4, but were denied by a couple of strong saves by Owen Goodman, and last-ditch interventions by both Riley Harbottle and Josh Neufville.

The Magpies know they will need at least one goal to give them a chance of reaching the final, and even without Jatta, we are confident they can find one, with David McGoldrick and Conor Grant capable of breaking the deadlock.

We’re not confident they can keep AFC Wimbledon out, though, having kept just two clean sheets against top-half opponents this season.

🔍 AFC Wimbledon v Notts County Players to Watch

🔵 Josh Neufville

Neufville had a very good game in the first leg from left wing back, his goal line clearance a huge factor in his team's first leg victory.

He was shown a card in the first leg for a foul on Jodi Jones, and we expect the same to happen again in this game. In just 14.02 90’s, Jones has drawn nine yellow cards from opponents this season, and has drawn 2.2 fouls per 90. He is very tricky to defend against, and we think Neufville will have to resort to illegal measures to stop him again. He committed three fouls in the first leg.

⚫ Conor Grant

Grant found it very easy to get into goalscoring positions in the first leg, but a combination of poor finishing and great goalkeeping prevented him from finding the net.

The Irishman took five shots on Saturday night, four of which were on target, and all of which came from good positions inside the box. We see no reason why he won’t be able to get into threatening positions again, with Wimbledon likely to be without starting centre back Ryan Johnson through injury.

💻 AFC Wimbledon v Notts County Form and Tactics

AFC Wimbledon will stick with their 3-5-2 formation, with inverted attacking wing backs in Neufville and Tilley, who are better known as wingers. They struggled to create many chances from open play in the first leg, with six of their 10 attempts on goal resulting from set pieces, so will be hoping they can find other ways of troubling Notts. Ryan Johnson will likely be replaced by Isaac Ogundere.

County boss Stuart Maynard matched up with Johnnie Jackson but also utilising inverted wing-backs, but where Dons played with a flat midfield three and two strikers, The Magpies used a lone striker with two attacking midfielders. They created better chances, so will be wanting more of the same with improved finishing or a bit of luck in front of goal.
