Fulham vs AFC Wimbledon Preview
Fulham begin life under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa at Craven Cottage in this Carabao Cup second-round tie, eager to put a frustrating 3-2 defeat to Chelsea behind them. That Premier League opener showed attacking intent but also defensive vulnerability, something Arbeloa will want to address quickly. Sweeping squad rotation is expected, giving fringe players a chance to stake their claim. Their recent home form has been inconsistent, with two wins and two losses from their last four outings.
AFC Wimbledon arrive in west London as heavy underdogs but carrying quiet belief after edging past Newport County on penalties in round one. Their early season form in League One has been steady rather than spectacular: three draws and a defeat from four competitive fixtures, including a goalless stalemate against Reading last time out. Johnnie Jackson's side are yet to register an outright win this campaign, and breaking down Premier League opposition will represent a significant step up in quality.
Fulham's home win at 1.20 reflects the vast gulf in quality between these two sides. A Premier League outfit hosting League One opposition at Craven Cottage, even with expected squad rotation, should have more than enough firepower. Arbeloa will want a morale-boosting result after that Chelsea setback, and this fixture offers the perfect opportunity.
AFC Wimbledon have yet to win in normal time this season, managing three draws and a loss across four competitive outings. Their Carabao Cup progression came only via penalties against Newport County after a 1-1 draw, while a goalless stalemate with Reading underlines their lack of cutting edge. That profile does not inspire confidence for a trip to west London.
Over 2.5 goals at N/A looks a solid secondary pick. Fulham conceded twice against Chelsea and showed attacking intent in that defeat, so goals at both ends are plausible. The both teams to score market at 1.03 also merits attention, though Wimbledon's blunt attack makes a home win to nil a realistic outcome at 10.50. Odds correct at time of publication.
