Examining recent form and match odds reveals a slight edge for the away side, Stevenage Borough. Looking at recent performance, Stevenage Borough's form appears marginally more consistent. While their recent results show a mix of wins, draws, and a loss, they've demonstrated a capacity to score away from home, as seen in their draw against Burton Albion and a win against Stockport County. AFC Wimbledon's form, on the other hand, reveals inconsistencies. They've struggled to secure wins, with a significant away defeat in the EFL Trophy against Cardiff City.

The match odds reflect this assessment, with Stevenage Borough priced slightly lower to win, indicating they are the slight favourites. Considering the Asian Handicap, the odds suggest a close match, with a handicap of 0. This implies the bookmakers anticipate a tight contest. However, the slightly better odds on Stevenage Borough to win the handicap suggest they're more likely to cover any potential spread. In terms of goal expectations, the over/under line is set at 1.75 goals. Given the recent form of both teams, and their tendency to play defensively, particularly AFC Wimbledon, the under is favoured. Both teams have shown a relative inability to score consistently, and a low-scoring match is anticipated. In conclusion, based on the analysis of recent form, match odds, and goal-scoring tendencies, a prediction is made that Stevenage Borough will win. The match is expected to have under 1.75 goals scored. While the match is expected to be closely contested, Stevenage Borough's recent form gives them a slight advantage.
