AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons Face Off in FA Cup

This Sunday marks the 17th clash between MK Dons and AFC Wimbledon, and only their second in the FA Cup, since their infamous first meeting in 2012, which ended in a controversial 2-1 victory for MK Dons. Despite historical advantages and financial backing, neither team has managed to secure three consecutive wins against the other. Currently, AFC Wimbledon is on a positive streak, having won their last two games, while MK Dons has lost their last two encounters with Wimbledon. The rivalry is further intensified by the controversial history surrounding Wimbledon FC's relocation to Milton Keynes over 20 years ago, which remains a sensitive topic among fans. As both teams head into the match with fluctuating fortunes, AFC Wimbledon hopes to leverage their recent success against a struggling MK Dons side, who have only won once at home against them in the last decade. The match is expected to draw significant attention, encapsulating a storied rivalry that has evolved over the years.
