League Two
The sides have met three times over the past couple of seasons. Two of those encounters came in League One, with Stevenage winning both (2–1 at home and 3–2 away). The other clash came in the EFL Trophy back in 2023, when AFC Wimbledon edged Stevenage 6–5 on penalties after a draw in normal time.
AFC Wimbledon team overview
Fresh from promotion to League One via last season’s League Two play-off final, AFC Wimbledon have endured a mixed start to life in the third tier. They began well, picking up three wins from their first five fixtures, but have since suffered back-to-back defeats in the space of five days. They were first knocked out of the League Cup in a 2–1 loss to Reading, before falling 3–2 away to Bradford in League One.
Johnnie Jackson is expected to name a full-strength side for Tuesday’s tie, with summer signing Patrick Bauer strengthening their defensive options.

Stevenage team overview
Stevenage have enjoyed an almost perfect start to their League One campaign under Alex Revell. They’ve won five of their six league games in August, collecting 15 points and sitting second in the table. Their only league defeat so far came against Huddersfield last week, while their first setback of the season was a 3–1 defeat to Charlton in the League Cup.
There are no reported injuries or suspensions in the Stevenage camp. Forward Jamie Reid has been in excellent form, scoring five goals in six league appearances, and will once again be key to their attacking threat.

Prediction
On current form, Stevenage are the clear favourites, having won five of their six league matches. However, AFC Wimbledon have been tough to beat at home, losing just once at the Cherry Red Records Stadium this season. Statistically, Stevenage boast one of the best defensive records in League One, conceding only four goals so far — but all of them came away from home. With Wimbledon winning two of their three home league matches and Stevenage looking more vulnerable on their travels, this tie has the makings of a competitive contest. Prediction: Both teams to score (BTTS).
Three reasons we expect Both Teams to Score
- Stevenage have failed to score only once this season — in a 1–0 defeat to Huddersfield. They have found the net at least once in each of their other six matches across all competitions.
- On the road, Stevenage have scored in three of their four away fixtures this season.
- At home, AFC Wimbledon have managed to score in two of their three matches so far.
