AFC Wimbledon will be looking to put an end to their five games winless at home when they play host to Newport County on Tuesday evening.
Wimbledon go into Tuesday's clash desperate to turn things around after winning just three of their last nine fixtures. More worryingly for their supporters, none of those victories came at the Cherry Red Records Stadium. The Wombles and Dons were last in action last weekend when they hosted Dag & Red in the FA Cup second round. After conceding an early goal on the half-hour mark, Mathew Stevens equalised for Johnnie Jackson's side on the stroke of half-time, but a second half Newport County goal confirmed Wimbledon exit from the competition.
Newport County meanwhile are winless in their last six games, losing three and drawing three. The visitors' latest attempt to end their poor run of form came on Saturday afternoon when they travelled to Notts County in Football League Two. Nelson Jardim's men failed to find the net after registering just two shots on target, but they will take heart from the fact that they kept a clean sheet for the second game in a row.
AFC Wimbledon vs Newport County Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
While none of the last thirteen meetings between Wimbledon and Newport County ended in a goalless draw, the tally of goals hardly exceeded two in the recent encounters and I don’t think Tuesday’s game will be different.
Newport County have also been very good defensively in their recent outings. The Ironsides faced only eight shots in their last two games, keeping a clean sheet in both games and none of those encounters produced a goal.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- AFC Wimbledon vs Newport County prediction: 1-1

AFC Wimbledon team news
Wimbledon didn’t register any injuries in their 2-1 defeat to Dag and Red last weekend, but head coach Johnnie Jackson is expected to make changes to the side that was on the pitch from kickoff in that game.
Having featured as substitutes in that game, the likes of Josh Kelly, Huseyin Biler and Joe Pigott are among those expected to benefit from this reshuffle.

Newport County team news
Shane McLoughlin will again be unavailable to Newport County head coach Nelson Jardim on Tuesday due to injury.
McLoughlin remains in the treatment room with a knee injury that has seen him missed the last 16 games, but the Exiles have no other injury concerns.

- Only three of the last seven games of Wimbledon produced more than two goals.
- None of the last four meetings between Wimbledon and Newport produced more than two goals.
