Betting Insights
- Fulham are the clear favorites at 1.19 for this game of the EFL Cup against AFC Wimbledon, although both the tie and the odds make plenty of sense.
- In fact, under 2.5 goals is still available at 2.65, but the market is usually right and this should be a cup thriller rather than a cagey clash.
- Backing Fulham to win and both teams not to score is our preferred bet here and the price is attractive.
Prediction
- The Dons' form has been poor of late, with two wins, one draw and seven defeats in their last 10 games, but they have the determination and discipline to make this a tough and competitive night for the Cottagers.
- The visitors will surely set up to be as narrow as possible, compete for every second ball and make set pieces their main route into the game.
- The Cottagers will surely be able to pin Wimbledon back in their own half for long periods and their high pressing should see them win the ball in dangerous areas on a regular basis.
- Fulham are the much better football team and that should tell here, but it is unlikely to be a landslide win.
- But the Dons will make them earn their win.
