AFC Wimbledon travel to face Cambridge United this weekend on the back of solid recent form in League One. The Dons have won three of their last five matches, a run that has lifted them to seventh place with 11 points from seven games.
Their last outing was a goalless draw at home to Milton Keynes Dons on 17 September. That result followed a 1-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers, secured by a Myles Hippolyte goal, and a 2-0 win at Bromley. Hippolyte is the club's top scorer this season with three goals from seven appearances.
Cambridge United's form
Cambridge United have been inconsistent, sitting fifth in the table. Their last five results show two wins, two draws and a single defeat. They drew 1-1 at Oxford United in their most recent match and beat Reading 2-1 at home the week before.
This will be the first meeting between the sides this season. The match is scheduled for 14:00 UTC on Saturday, 26 September at Cambridge's Abbey Stadium. AFC Wimbledon will be aiming to close the four-point gap to the league leaders, Bradford City. The full League One standings show how tight the race is near the top.
Johnnie Jackson's side will look to build on their defensive resilience, having kept two clean sheets in their last five games. The manager is expected to have a full squad available for selection. AFC Wimbledon's next match after this is a home fixture, details of which are on the club's fixtures page.
Cambridge United manager Neil Harris has made three changes for today's match, bringing Eastwood, Ball and Ahadme into the starting line-up. George Hoddle returns to the squad after an injury.

They last played on September 17th, drawing 0-0 with Milton Keynes Dons.
