Burton - AFC Wimbledon

Burton Albion look to regain their momentum as they host AFC Wimbledon on 2 September 2026 for matchday 4 of League One. The hosts arrive at Pirelli Stadium following a narrow 2-1 defeat against Notts County, a result that halted the optimism generated by their impressive 2-1 victory over Leicester City just a week prior. With a mixed start to the campaign, Burton Albion will be eager to solidify their defensive structure and find the attacking rhythm that saw them secure a clean sheet victory over their upcoming opponents as recently as April 2026.

AFC Wimbledon travel to the Pirelli Stadium buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win against Wigan Athletic, a performance that helped steady the ship after a difficult spell. While they struggled to find the net in recent league outings against Reading and Huddersfield Town, their latest victory suggests a newfound resilience. Both sides have recent history in this fixture, with Burton Albion holding the edge in their last few league encounters, but AFC Wimbledon will aim to disrupt that pattern and build on their current points tally.
