Plough Lane (London) Stadium is set to host a battle between AFC Wimbledon and Cambridge United this weekend as League One resumes for the 40th game week. Showdown schedules for 26th March 2022 at 18:00 EAT.

They scored 40 in total while conceding a sum of 61 which shows improvement in defense is needed as they tend to let in more often. Despite having failed to win a single League One fixture in 19 attempts, AFC Wimbledon is somehow still within touching distance of moving outside of the relegation zone.
The Wombles will want to make amends here following 3-1 League One loss to defeat Cheltenham Town last time out. In that game, AFC Wimbledon managed 42% possession, 11 shost with four of them on target and a goal scored by Jack Rudoni (26′). Cheltenham Town got 14 shots with four of them on target and goals by Callum Wright (81′), George Lloyd (83′) and Alfie May (92′.
Meanwhile, Cambridge United resides at the 17th place in the table with 45 points. Of the 38 matches played, they have 11 wins against 15 losses and 12 draws. The visitors lost four times from their last five games, indicating their current dry-spell, however they are at least 12 points safe from the red zone unlike the Saturday opponents.
Cambridge United and their travelling fans will be aiming to bounce back from 0-1 League One defeat to MK Dons in competition in their previous fixture. In that game, Cambridge managed 425 possession and 11 shots with two of them on target. MK Dons got eight shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by Warren O’Hora (60′).
