History of the Wimbledon v Norwich City fixture

Norwich City face a trip to Wimbledon at National Hockey Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Canaries will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 8 and win only 3 of the 14 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2002, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Wimbledon need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. Dons have conceded a disappointing 6 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Norwich City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Canaries, and 3 goals against.

Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 29 games have yielded only 18 points. Norwich City are leading the way in the Nationwide League Division One, with their 29 games giving them a return of 56 points.
