Preview: Burton Albion vs. AFC Wimbledon

BURTON UPON TRENT, England (Interstat) — Burton Albion will host AFC Wimbledon in a League One match on Saturday, with both English third-tier clubs seeking a positive result to stabilize their form late in the season.

The Brewers enter the contest at the Pirelli Stadium following a 0-0 draw at Mansfield Town on Monday. Their recent form has been mixed, with one win, two draws and two losses in their last five league matches. They earned a 2-1 home victory over Bradford City on March 21 but fell 1-0 at Blackpool in their most recent away fixture.

The visiting Dons are in a more precarious state, carrying a four-match winless streak into Staffordshire. They are coming off a 3-0 home defeat to Luton Town on Monday and a 1-0 loss at Lincoln City on April 3. Their last victory was a 4-1 home win over Blackpool on March 11. In their last five outings, they have managed just one point from a possible 15.

Recent history favors the hosts. In the last meeting between the sides on Oct. 25, Burton Albion secured a 1-0 away victory at Plough Lane.

A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a 1-1 draw for Saturday’s match.

For Burton Albion, a win could provide momentum ahead of a tough away fixture at Peterborough United on April 19. AFC Wimbledon, meanwhile, will be desperate to halt their slide before hosting Stockport County on April 15.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
