Last season, AFC Wimbledon had big problems avoiding relegation. Eventually, they finished with only five points more than the drop zone. In the 2023/24 season, AFC Wimbledon almost already topped last year's number of points, so Johnnie Jackson's team are currently in the playoff zone. Still, AFC Wimbledon won only one of the last four matches. In the previous game, they lost 3-1 at home in the FA Cup against Ipswich. 

Oxford United have a story similar to that of AFC Wimbledon. They were fighting to avoid relegation most of the previous season, while this year, Oxford United are much better. At the moment, they are fifth in League One table. Oxford United lost two of the last three matches. On Saturday, they lost 6-2 on the road in the FA Cup against Coventry. The home side dominated from the start, so eventually, Oxford United suffered the hardest defeat of the season. The game versus League Two team like AFC Wimbledon comes at the right moment for Oxford United to regain some confidence. 

AFC Wimbledon vs Oxford United pick: Over 2.5 goals

AFC Wimbledon scored 14 goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Oxford United went over 2.5 goals in every one of the previous six games. Over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for the upcoming tie.
