January 8th features a match where Boreham Wood will play host to AFC Wimbledon in a clash of the FA Cup. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 4 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Boreham Wood has not played yet this season, while in their last match, AFC Wimbledon recorded a 0-3 loss against Oxford United. Mark Sykes struck first for Oxford United in the 27th minute on a feed from Ryan Williams, then Matty Taylor added another in the 38th minute on a feed from Gavin Whyte In the end, AFC Wimbledon couldn’t muster any offence and Oxford United ran away with the shutout win. AFC Wimbledon is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season.
Ayoub Assal has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the midfielder has scored 4 goals for AFC Wimbledon. Kabongo Tshimanga and Ricketts are the top scorers for Boreham Wood in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
