Tuesday’s hosts finally put an end to their barren spell in front of goal on Saturday afternoon, but it was still not enough to end their winless streak as well.
Having headed to Burton Albion on the back of five games without a goal in all competitions, Ollie Palmer netted 20 minutes from time to provide Mark Robinson’s side with arguably a deserved lead.
However, that lead lasted just seven minutes as Daniel Jebbison scrambled home an equaliser for their hosts, and despite pushing for all three points at the end, the Dons had to settle for a fair share of the points.
Robinson will be hopeful his side can take the confidence built up from that game and apply it directly to Tuesday’s encounter against an in-form opponent 10 places above them in the table.
Wimbledon occupy 19th in the table as a result of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Burton, with just a single point keeping them above Morecambe in the relegation places.
With just two defeats in their 11 home games in League One prior to Tuesday, Wimbledon will likely remain difficult to beat despite their struggles of late, but Robinson continues to search for the solution to their creativity and finishing issues.
Meanwhile, Ipswich head to Plough Lane on Tuesday evening on the up, with Saturday’s 2-1 comeback victory over Accrington Stanley lifting them to ninth in the League One table.

Eight points now separate Ipswich from the playoff places, and with form and morale being in a strong place ahead of the encounter against a struggling side, manager Kieran McKenna will believe that it is a perfect opportunity to further cut the gap to the top six.
Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin netted the goals at Portman Road on Saturday, in what turned out to be an even game despite the lack of form of their opponents.
Accrington struck the woodwork twice during the encounter, so the Tractor Boys certainly rode their luck at times, but the result extended the impressive start under McKenna since he took over in December.
