Crystal Palace prepare to entertain Wimbledon at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Eagles are clearly on top, winning 54.55% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Selhurst Park was in the early stages of this season, with Palace cruising to a 3-1 victory over the Dons. That was shortly before Wimbledon upped sticks for Milton Keynes, and so Palace were officially the away side that day. The last time the Dons played at Selhurst as the away side was less than a year ago, in March 2003, with Wimbledon inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Eagles in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Crystal Palace have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.
Wimbledon's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. The Dons's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.
Crystal Palace see themselves just below half way in the Nationwide League Division One, showing a record of 38 points from their 29 games played so far, Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 28 games have yielded only 18 points.
