Burton Albion face AFC Wimbledon on Wednesday with a formidable unbeaten record against their League One rivals. The Brewers have not lost to Wimbledon in 11 Football League meetings dating back to February 2015, a statistic that will give them confidence ahead of the 2026-09-02 fixture at the Pirelli Stadium.
Both sides enter the match with identical records of four points from their opening three games. Burton currently sit 12th in League One, having taken four points from a possible nine with a win, a draw and a loss. Their recent form reads LWD. They have scored four goals and conceded four, leaving them with a zero goal difference. They trail early leaders Blackpool by three points.
Burton's dominance in this fixture is stark. They have avoided defeat in all 11 of their Football League encounters with AFC Wimbledon since a loss over a decade ago. The Dons have never won a league match at the Pirelli Stadium, failing in all nine of their previous attempts. This historical advantage provides a significant psychological edge for the home side.

While their overall record against Wimbledon is excellent, Burton's recent home form in the league has been defined by draws. Three of their last four league games at the Pirelli Stadium have finished 1-1. This suggests a pattern of tight, competitive matches where they have found it difficult to secure maximum points despite being on home soil. Turning some of those draws into wins will be a key objective for the campaign.
AFC Wimbledon arrive with a poor recent away record that contrasts sharply with Burton's strong home form against them. The Dons have lost five of their last six away league games. This trend of struggling on their travels will be a major concern for their manager as they prepare to visit a ground where they have historically found success elusive. Their current league position of 14th, also on four points, reflects a mixed start.
The match pits two mid-table sides against each other in the early stages of the season. Burton's goal difference of zero from four scored and four conceded indicates they have been involved in balanced contests. The three-point gap to Blackpool shows the table is still tightly packed, with plenty of opportunity for movement. Fans can track the evolving picture on our standings page.
