AFC Wimbledon take on the visitors Weymouth in the round 1/128-finals of English FA Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 15th at Plough Lane (London).
AFC Wimbledon played well in the second half of autumn. The "Dons" was created by the fans of a popular club, quite successful in recent decades (of course, the 1988 Cup stands apart). The fans did not support the move during the time of one of the owners to Milton Keynes, and 20 years ago they founded a new project. Last season, he even made it to Ligue 1, but now, having dropped, they are playing in the 4th division of the country. Having won in the opening match, then the team added to this only 2 wins in 12 meetings. And only at the end of October it gained momentum, starting to earn points actively.

Weymouth surprised by not losing the 1st leg. The Terraces were founded in 1890. But for all these decades, only winning at the level of the semi-amateur, 6th division of the country can be attributed to achievements. The previous 2 seasons were held in the National League, "one floor above", but in the 2022/2023 season, the club was penultimate there. Moreover, now they are failing at a lower level, standing on the relegation there and rarely clinging to any points. Yes, many people remember Ryan Sandford, the team's goalkeeper, whose save video went viral in September. But at the same time, this meant that the defenders simply let the goalkeeper shoot. But at the same time, the underdog manages to look good in the cup. They ahve already passed 3 rounds. And on November 5, having conceded already in the 5th minute after Assal's shot, they managed to turn the tide of the fight and score in the middle of the 2nd half in return. As a result, there was a reason to go to the capital of Great Britain for a replay.
Although both clubs have existed for a long time (if you do not separate the "old" Wimbledon), they still play at different levels of the English football pyramid. So on November 5th they crossed paths for the first time. Weymouth has already achieved a lot in the current cup competition. At home, AFC Wimbledon should win, and not minimally - we bet on the hosts with a handicap of "-1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: AFC Wimbledon to win with -1.5 handicap.
