Live on Premier Sports: Wed 19.45: AFC Wimbledon are 5/6 with Ladbrokes to beat Fleetwood Town and book a trip to Manchester.
After a 2-0 away win up at Highbury in Fleetwood, Wimbledon are pretty much assured a place in the City of Manchester Stadium final, bet365 making them overwhelming 1/20 favs to qualify.
It would take a monumental effort for The Trawlermen to get through; they are 7/2 with William Hill to win, a 3-0 away win is 16/1 with Sportingbet and an extra-time forcing 2-0 win a 15/2 chance with Paddy Power.
So the 5/6 on the home side is pretty good. After losing recent away games at the three teams directly below them in the league, Fleetwood’s chances are slim. They lost 1-0 at Wimbledon in this exact tie back in early February, Ladbrokes saying 6/1 for a repeat scoreline, which seems like a good bet.
Wimbledon will probably prefer a slower tempo, if not to prevent injuries for the final then to negate any attempt by Fleetwood to hit them on the break. Under 2.5 goals is preferred at 4/5 (Totesport) while a win to nil for The Dons is 11/5 at Paddy Power.
