Football Betting Tips Wimbledon vs West Ham
The Wimbledon team competes in League One equal to the third tier of English football, and is led by Englishman Neal Ardley, a 45-year-old coach who is already at the helm of the club’s football profession since 2012.
They reach this second round of the League Cup after having eliminated Porstmouth at the first with a 2-1 away win, with the team showing great soul when recovering from disadvantage with the 1-1 to appear already at minute 76.
And right in front of a team with a lot of history and that is making a good start to the league also in League One.
However, the start of the season for Wimbledon has not been so positive, as the Carabao Cup triumph is one of only two to date, joining the inaugural League One victory outside the Fleetwood ground (1-0).
For the championship, since there Wimbledon does not win and there are already four days, three of them disputed before the support of its public, where the team comes with two consecutive defeats, against Walsall (1-3) and Sunderland (1-2), two sets which respectively occupy the 4th and 2nd place in the league table. Previously, he drew 1-1 with Coventry City (16th) and Barnsley (5th).
All this is in 15th place, out of 24 teams, with 5 points in 5 games where they conceded 5 goals and only scored 3.
In a brief consultation of the latest English press, we get to know some of the casualties of this set of third division, including Tennai Watson, a 21-year-old defender who appeared in the first three rounds of League One and the previous tie of this League Cup, missing out on injury the last two meetings, which curiously ended with defeats for Wimbledon.
Moreover, coach Neal Ardley also should not be able to count on midfielder Tom Soares (experienced midfielder of 32 years, with three games to title holder in the league, the ones in which the team scored and also in the League Cup), with Kwesi Appiah (28-year-old Ghanaian forward also playing for this competition with Portsmouth and in the first four rounds of League One, pointing the goal of honor against Walsall) recently to accounts with physical problems but being able to go to the game at the last minute.
On West Ham we are all more familiar with what is happening in the London club.
In a brief summary of what is expected to be the new season, Manuel Pellegrini is now the new coach, with the direction to invest a few million euros to strengthen the squad, having been hired players of the value of Felipe Anderson or Andriy Yarmolenko, in order to increase the range of quality options for the former coach of Manchester City, which has had a rather complicated start to the season, also because of timing issues.
It is that in the three official matches already played, all of them for the Premier League, West Ham has disappointed, added up to three defeats, managed to score 2 goals but has already conceded a total of 9, which gives an average of 3 per game.
The premiere took place at Anfield Road in front of Liverpool candidate and culminated with a 4-0 defeat.
On Matchday 2, the big setback of the season so far, with West Ham to be beaten by their 2-1 public support for Bournemouth, after starting and leaving for the break in front of the scoreboard.
Most recently, last Saturday, a new setback in the derby against Arsenal, 3-1, once again with the hammers to come out in front of the marker and allow the opponent to turn around.
There is no reason to alarm even because two of the three misdeeds happened out of doors and against two of the “Big Six”, however it is time to start the road shivering and the team have an excellent opportunity on this tie to add up to the first good result of 2018/19 and give a small boost of confidence to their supporters before receiving the Portuguese “Wolverhampton” on Saturday.
It’s a good opportunity for some of the less-used players in the first three rounds of the Premier League to add up a few minutes and be launched early, however the English press reports that Pellegrini must bet on a mixed team, between players who have figured in the lot of first choices and others less used.
In terms of casualties, Andy Carroll and Winston Reid are the only ones confirmed and with no certain prediction of return. However, Marko Arnautovic, Mark Noble and Michail Antonio are all in doubt for the clash.
Free Betting Tips Wimbledon vs West Ham
I look favorably on West Ham’s first win in the new season tonight.
The opponent is obviously inferior and despite playing at home and this type of test until being fertile in surprises, I do not see great conditions of this happening here.
The Wimbledon will have three important absences in the team, it is said that Ardley should go to the game at full strength, not least because he did not start well in League One, where the team feeds hopes of discussing access to the Championship.
However, on the side of West Ham things are quite similar, the team did not start the Premier well and needs a triumph to shake off the pressure and even reinforce the moods.
Players like Chicharito, Yarmolenko and Lucas Pérez should have a few minutes, players from this feedback are some of the “second row” units of this West Ham, for now, and I believe that Pellegrini will face the game seriously, just as he did in games against opponents of lower echelons when he guided the City in this competition, where he has a great balance on a particular level.
