Fulham vs AFC Wimbledon Preview
Fulham welcome AFC Wimbledon to Craven Cottage under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa, who is still finding his feet after a mixed start to the Premier League campaign. The Cottagers have won two of their last five outings but suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat to Chelsea, where record signing Gonzalo Garcia opened his account on debut alongside Joshua King. Arbeloa is expected to rotate heavily, with Ryan Sessegnon among those likely to feature from the start.
AFC Wimbledon travel across London still searching for their first outright win of the season, having drawn three and lost one of their opening four competitive fixtures. Their route into this round came through sheer drama: a penalty shootout victory over Newport County, rescued by Callum Maycock's 97th-minute equaliser. More concerning for the Dons is a League One goal drought; they are yet to find the net in the third tier this term.
Fulham at 1.20 represents the standout selection in this fixture. A three-division gulf separates these sides, and Premier League quality should prove decisive even with wholesale rotation from Arbeloa. AFC Wimbledon have failed to score in League One this season and needed a 97th-minute equaliser from Callum Maycock just to survive their first-round tie against Newport County on penalties.
The over 2.5 goals market at 1.45 also carries strong appeal. Fulham showed attacking intent against Chelsea, with Gonzalo Garcia and Joshua King both finding the net in a 3-2 defeat. Arbeloa will want fringe players like Ryan Sessegnon to impress, and the Dons' defensive fragility against lower-league opposition suggests Fulham can generate chances at will.
Backing BTTS No at 1.72 completes the recommended selections. AFC Wimbledon are yet to register a single League One goal across their opening fixtures, and stepping up to face Premier League defenders, even second-string ones, represents a considerable jump in difficulty. Fulham's squad depth should comfortably contain a side still searching for their first outright win of the campaign. Odds correct at time of publication.
