AFC Wimbledon vs West Ham United Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

West Ham United travel to take on AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday night.

Manuel Pellegrini's men are strong favourites against the team rooted to the foot of League One, having won five and drawn two of their last 10 away games.

The Dons, though, have won five of their last six FA Cup ties and are dreaming of taking the scalp of their Premier League opponents.

Latest odds

The Hammers have won just two of their last 13 FA Cup ties on the road. Nevertheless, Pellegrini's team are available at just 4/9 (1.44) to progress to the fifth round inside 90 minutes.

Wimbledon are 6/1 (7.0) with William Hill to beat West Ham inside normal time and the same firm go 100/30 (4.33) that the League One strugglers take the tie to a replay at London Stadium.

Team news

Dons top scorer Joe Piggott, who missed the previous round due to injury, may lead the line. Goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale, on loan from Bournemouth, made his Wimbledon debut in the previous round and should play here.

Javier Hernandez or Andy Carroll could lead the line, with Marco Arnautovic's future in east London still undecided, but Lukasz Fabianski, Felipe Anderson and Pablo Zabaleta are amongst those likely to be rested.

Fabian Balbuena, Winston Reid, Carlos Sanchez, Manuel Lanzini, Andriy Yarmolenko, Jack Wilshere and Ryan Fredericks all remain sidelined through injury.

A tight tussle?

There have been fewer than three goals scored in six of West Ham's last eight away FA Cup ties and William Hill go even money (2.0) that there are no more than two goals on this occasion.

The same firm offer 8/11 (1.73) that either side fails to find the net.

Goals to flow?

Wimbledon, however, have scored in each of their last nine FA Cup matches on home soil and furthermore, just one of those nine ties has seen fewer than three goals scored.

William Hill go 8/11 (1.73) that there are more than two goals in the game. The same firm offer 7/10 (1.70) that the Dons find the net, as they did in the Carabao Cup back in August when the Premier League side won 3-1.

Prediction

The Dons are battling to beat the drop and retaining a place in the third tier may be manager Wally Downes' primary priority, meaning ​Pellegrini's men could and, perhaps, should win well here.

The 13/10 (2.30) quote, then, from William Hill for West Ham (-1) to beat the handicap mark could represent real value ahead of Saturday's showdown.
