This a good looking FA Cup second round clash between two League One sides. Going off the current league standings it is Charlton who will be expected to have the upper hand in the fixture as they are top six side. Wimbledon are having their current struggles down in the relegation zone in the league, with a severe lack of goals having been put up on the board this season. Still, the visiting Addicks are 17/10 in this against the 6/4 quote on Wimbledon coming away with a home win.

Charlton AthleticAFC Wimbledon Form
Wimbledon are struggling in the relegation zone then in League One with just the five league wins on the board this season and only one in their last six league outings, so they aren’t a side running in any kind of form. From their recent run of games at Kingsmeadow, Wimbledon have gone W3 D1 L3 so have been totally hit and miss. They did get a home win against League Two side Lincoln in the last round of the FA Cup to set up this clash. In that 1-0 victory that was their only clean sheet on home soil in their last seven so they are going to be under threat. They don’t have a prolific output going forward and have already failed to score against Charlton this season.
Charlton Form
The Addicks are ticking over decently inside the top six in League One and will have plenty of backing in this one. They have lost just of their last thirteen games in all competitions and one of those was in the Football League Trophy which doesn’t really count for much. They have gone W5 D2 L2 in their last nine road games. They do have a far superior attack to that of Wimbledon and if they go fully at this can really make an impact. If you look at their current league form as some kind of indicator for confidence then they should have plenty of it because they have lost just one of their last eleven games played.
Head to Head News
Charlton took a 1-0 win at home over Wimbledon just back at the end of October in a League One meeting. That was just the third game between them following on from their League One meetings last season in which Wimbledon took an away win and then played out a 1-1 home draw against the Addicks.
Top Betting Tips
The better value is in backing the away side to come away with the victory in this one. They are the better of the two sides and have already beaten Wimbledon this season. At the end of the day, the lack of serious goal threat from the home side may undo them and a repeat 1-0 correct score for the Addicks looks a good choice.
