Wimbledon's winless run and the Crewe price
AFC Wimbledon are seven league games without a win before their FA Cup trip to Crewe. We make Crewe 47.2% and saw 2.85: why, and what could go wrong.
On this page
AFC Wimbledon lost 2–1 at Stockport County on 31 October, their seventh League One game without a win. On Saturday they drop into the FA Cup first round at Crewe Alexandra of League Two, and we make the lower-division side the favourite: Crewe 47.2%, fair price 2.12, against a best price of 2.85 at DraftKings. That is a 12.1 point positive edge. The number is an estimate, not a promise.
The numbers
| Outcome | Our chance | Fair price | Best price seen | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crewe Alexandra | 47.2% | 2.12 | 2.85, DraftKings | +12.1 pts |
| Draw | 28.1% | 3.56 | ||
| AFC Wimbledon | 24.7% | 4.05 |
The Desk published this card at 22:22 UTC on 1 November, and the 2.85 was quoted at 00:15 UTC on 2 November. The 2.85 implies 35.1%, so the edge is 47.2% minus 35.1%, or 12.1 points. Kick-off is 15:00 UK time on Saturday 7 November at the Mornflake Stadium. The card covers the 90-minute result.
Wimbledon's run
- Seven without a win. The Stockport defeat extended Johnnie Jackson's side's league run without a win to seven games, per AFC Wimbledon News. Joe Stockley scored their goal, per Sky Sports.
- One division up, not a gulf. League One against League Two is one step, and a side short of confidence does not carry much of that step into a cup tie away from home.
Crewe are not in great shape either
Crewe drew 1–1 at home to Barnet on 31 October and lost 5–1 at Chesterfield the week before. Wimbledon are also unbeaten in the last six meetings between the clubs, with one win and five draws, per FotMob. Our 28.1% on the draw is higher than for most league games, which fits that history.
What could make us wrong
The market makes Wimbledon slight favourites, and it may be pricing in squad depth that our numbers miss. First-round ties also bring rotation from both managers; we cover that in cup rotation: what our research can miss. The other FA Cup call on the Desk, at Cheltenham v Halifax, has the same weakness.
What this does not tell you
It covers the 90-minute result only, not who goes through after extra time or penalties. Team news is not out yet. A winless run is a description of the past seven games, not a forecast of the next one.
