Fears of relegation appear to have been quelled by AFC Wimbledon, who sit mid-table in League Two and are eyeing a third round home tie with Ipswich Town if successful here. The Dons ploughed through third tier Cheltenham 5-1 in the previous round and will be confident of getting the job done against eighth tier opposition.
Ramsgate, the side currently top of the Isthmian League South East Division, are unbeaten in their last seven matches, navigating a 2-1 win over Woking Town to be seated at the table with AFC Wimbledon this evening. The minnows insist they aren't just here to make up the numbers and for those who are tempted by the prospect of a third round appearance, odds of 14/1 are available for them to win the tie.
AFC Wimbledon vs Ramsgate Tips
AFC Wimbledon To Win To Nil
Given how short they are, we can make the jump from 1/5 to almost even money by declaring that the Football League club will win the game to nil. At the time of writing, BetVictor's 20/21 price is the best available on the market.
AFC Wimbledon have scored 13 goals in their past four home games, impressively beating high-flying Notts County 4-2 on this pitch two weekends ago. Further on that, The Wombles have shut out four of their last eight opponents, and with home advantage, they should make light work of a team who will give it a good go but ultimately display the gulf in class between this pair.
To put things into perspective from a Ramsgate point of view, Cray Valley Paper Mills lost 6-1 at home to Charlton in the previous round, scoring from one of their two shots on target in that match. That team are 4th in the same division as Ramsgate, seven points behind the league leaders, with the two recently playing out a 1-1 draw.
As possible as it is for the visitors to nick a goal, Horsham - a club in the Isthmian League Premier Division - were put to the sword without reply by Sutton United, a club sitting rock bottom of the Football League pyramid and who've managed only three league wins from a possible 20.
Ali Al-Hamadi To Score 2+ Goals
Since we believe AFC Wimbledon will cruise to the third round of this competition, it's worth dabbling into the multi scorer market to provide some extra juice for our longer priced bet. Ali Al-Hamadi is the name we've settled on to score two or more goals on Monday evening and here's why. He is the club's top scorer in the league with eight goals, having taken 12 shots fewer than winger James Tilley, while producing as many shots on target (27) and providing a goal more than him for his team.
More importantly, this season when Al-Hamadi has scored, he tends to do it in multiples. Of the five occasions he's netted, the Iraqi striker has scored once only twice, striking two braces and a hat-trick to get to his season's tally of nine. One of those was scored in the previous round of this competition, where James Tilley also netted a brace against League One opposition. AFC Wimbledon have scored at least two goals in five of their last six home matches and should see off eighth tier opposition in style. At odds of 6/1, a bet which SpreadEx have at just 11/4, we're taking on the centre forward to net two over Tilley at the same price.
